Challenge for Lurkers - One Recipe
My Jazzed-Up Baked Beans
I start with a big can of Bush's Baked Beans.
Saute a chopped medium onion and stir into the beans.
Fry 8 strips of bacon until very crisp, crumble and add bacon and
drippings to the beans.
Add two or more Tbs. of Dijon mustard and a goodly pinch of crushed red
pepper flakes.
A couple Tbs. of molasseses doesnt hurt if you like your BB's on the
sweetr side.
Personally, I make my own mustard and it's a gazillion times better than
any prepared mustard and too simple to make to not have on hand.
Use equal parts dry mustard powder and white vinegar. Mix well and cover
tightly and store in the fridge overnight. Next day, add an equal
portion of brown sugar, mix well and it gets better and better. This
mustard on a grilled Swiss sandwich...is pure Heaven, not to mention
what it does for the Baked Beans.
Bake the beans at 350 for about 45 minutes.
