Baked beans were always on the table at family gatherings in the summer when I grew up. Ladies would exchange recipes, especially for the tangy tasting ones. My brother and his wife shared this recipe with me back in the mid-'90s.
Bakes beans go so well with ham, burgers or hot dogs. I watch for canned bean sales and stock up on the inexpensive "pork and beans" type, then doctor them up adding more bacon and ingredients that fire them up!
I also pressure cook dried beans, pinto or kidney, and have used them from time to time.
For a quick supper side dish for two, I use one can of beans and jazz them up with ingredients below, cutting down on measurements.
Baked Bombers (Beans)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound chopped bacon
3, 15 oz. of beans (kidney or pinto) drained, or canned pork and beans, drained
3 Tabs. each of horseradish, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard of choice, and brown sugar.
Fry bacon, drain, saving 2 Tabs. of fat. In a 2-quart kettle or pan combine bacon, chopped peppers and onions. Mix together with beans. Stir in horseradish, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard and brown sugar. Mix well. Add and stir in 2 Tabs. of bacon fat. Bake uncovered at 350 for 1 hour.
Serve with hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, or take to picnics or potlucks.
Serves 8 to 10.
Estimated cost: $4.00 or less. .50 cents a serving or less.
