R&R ~ Another Side ~ Old settlers Baked Beans ~ *****

This is a repost of one of my very first posts back in 04~  This without a doubt is one of my very favorite baked bean recipes.  I think The  origional recipe may have came from Old Yanakee Magazine as I had it many years before posting on the Board??   Since then it has cropped up everywhere.  This one I printed out from Recipezaar.  Mr calls it Bean Chili, as it is extremely thick!`  The first time I brought this to a family gathering everyone was trying to figure out what the secret ingredient was ~ with 4 different types of beans it's hard to pick it out.   Its  Ground Beef ~  I use way less then the recipe calls for as I do want this to remain all about Beans and not Chili ~  I also add some chopped green pepper .  Its a very adaptable recipe you can bump up or bump off any of the spices listed ~  and yes Chopped Jalapenos will work very nicely for the hotties.  I also down play the both sugar just a litte.  But all in all it is one very tasty ~ Huge Pot of   BB's  ~  Janie ~ 

 

Old Settlers  Baked Beans

 

Ingredients

 

1 pound of ground beef

 

1/2 pound of bacon ( use less) cooked and crumbled

 

1 onion chopped

 

1/3 cup each brown sugar and white sugar  (use less)

 

1/4 cup ketchup

 

1/4 cup barbecue sauce

 

2 Tbs each molasses or Karo syrup ( Use pure Maple syrup)  and Mustard ( I use spicy brown )

 

1/2 tsp each chili powder and pepper

 

1 tsp salt ( do not use)

 

1 can each ~  Baked Beans, Red Kidney Beans,  Baby Butter Beans and White Beans.

 

*  I drain and rinse all of the beans except, for the pork and beans and I use  a large can of pork and beans and the same sized cans for all of the others ( medium sized cans )

 

 

Brown the beef and onion.  Drain  Put into  a large bowl and add all of the  sugars, ketchup, barbecue sauce, molasses, mustard and spices.  Mix well.  Add all of the beans. Place in a large casserole and bake at 350 for about an hour.  I leave them covered for 30 minutes then uncover the last 20 minutes.

DH loves Baked Beans-

 

This one sounds good and Hearty too.

Thanks Janie!

You are welcome.  I went searching for the origional post under jcz04 and darn I couldn't find it ~  I am sure that, this is the same one ~  It tastes the same and I remember the long list of Ingredients.  and I know I didn't have a computer when I was making the recipe.  That's how long I've had it ~  Like many lost ones It's burried somewhere ~  One of these days I'll come across it ~  Janie ~  it is very hearty ~   

I have this in my favorites. I'm the only one who loves baked beans in this family so have to make it when we have company

Thanks Janie for the review and recipe.

Thanks Janie for the R & R

I have been making this exact recipe for about the past 30 yrs. Sometimes I sub leftover chopped pork roast or chops/beef roast, use ground turkey (lighter healthier fare).

Kcks~  That sounds about right !~  I have been in my present home for 24 years and it was long before that   ~  Thanks and nice to meet you ~ ~  Do you remember where your source was??  Just curious ~

 Yum. Thanks Janie. I have it copied.

My source I believe at the time was the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel.

A little heartier then Depos, but it's very tasty ~    Janie

These have become our favorite baked beans. We make them in large batches, vacuum seal and freeze.
