Kahlua Baked Beans

Serves: 10 Servings

1 lb Dried navy beans, picked-over; rinsed

1/2 lb Bacon slices, cut in pieces-with scissors

2 c Onion; finely chopped

1 12-oz bottle chili sauce

1/2 c Tomato-based barbeque sauce, -preferably smoked

1/2 c Kahlua

1/2 c Strong brewed coffee

1/4 c Dijon mustard

1/4 c Unsulfered molasses

2 tb Thick, spicy steak sauce -such as Heinz 57

2 tb Tabasco sauce

1 ts Salt

1. Soak the beans in lots of water to cover overnight. Drain.

2. In a large pot, cover beans generously with fresh cold water. Set the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring once or twice, for 1 hour or more, until the beans are very soft but still holding their shape. (The beans should not be salted at the initial cooking stage, as salt will toughen the beans.) Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the bean cooking liquid.

3. Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

4. Combine the beans with 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid, bacon, onions, chili sauce, barbeque sauce, Kahlua, coffee, mustard, molasses, steak sauce, Tabasco and salt. Transfer to a heavy 5 quart nonreactive casserole or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

5. Remove the lid, stir the beans and continue baking, uncovered, 30 minutes. Stir and continue baking 40 minutes, until beans are very thick. Stir occasionally. (The beans can be cooled, covered and refrigerated; reheat the next day on a medium-low burner.)

Note: I think these are wonderful. But I'm either going to make them in the crockpot the next time or in the oven. I like them to look roasted on top.

Mesquite-Fired Kahlua Chicken

2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
1 portion Woodbridge Grill Mesquite

Marinade Ingredients
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/2 cup Dark Soy
1/4 cup Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Ground Coffee
2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds

Marinade Preparation:
Blend marinade ingredients together and place in large zip lock bag with chicken thighs. Recommended to marinate overnight, however, this can be done quicker by messaging marinade in meat while in the sealed bag for several minutes and leave out at room temperature for one hour.

Grilling Preparation:
Fill Woodbridge Grill smoker box 2/3 full with mesquite and seal container. Place magnetically under grill suspended over direct heat. Fire up grill using medium heat 400 degrees.

Grilling:
Once smoke develops, place meat on grill around smoker box and close lid. It is important to wait until the smoke is producing prior to placement on grill. Turn meat after 15 minutes on grill. Remove after 5 more minutes. Allow meat to sit for 5 more minutes before slicing.

Serving: Slice cross grain into 1/2 inch portions. Serves 4.

Caramel Kahlua Sauce

4 ounces unsalted butter
4 ounces light brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Kahlúa

Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in light brown sugar. Continually stir until mixture starts to bubble and act like taffy. Be very careful not to splash the sauce as the melted sugar is extremely hot.

When the sugar and butter have reached taffy stage, remove from heat; then slowly add the heavy cream. Next add the Kahlúa, stir well. Serve over ice cream, cake, brownies, or whatever else you desire.

Kahlua Chili

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 onions, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 lg. cans tomatoes semi-drained
1/4 cup parsley
1 tsp. margoram
1 tsp. crushed oregano
3 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. red cayenne pepper
1/2 cup Kahlua
2 cans kidney beans
1 tsp. cumin

In large kettle/dutch oven, brown beef in oil. Drain any fat. Brown onions and garlic until transparent. Add tomatoes, parsley, and spices. Cook ~30 min. Then, add Kahlua, kidney beans and cumin. Cook an additional 30 min on low. Condiments might include grated cheddar cheese, and raw diced onions.

Note: Another fairly good recipe for chili. I find I like having something sweet added to it. I often put grape jelly in my chili. The Kahlua works j9ust as well. I haven't quite gotten to adding chocolate yet.

Chili Kahlua

1/2 c Canola Oil

4 large onions. chopped

4 large cloves of garlic, minced

3 lb. ground beef

1 lb. beef stew meat, chopped fine

1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped

1 can (29-ounce) tomato puree

2 cans (14.5 ounce) Diced Tomatoes

2 tbsp. tomato paste

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tsp. marjoram

2 tsp. oregano

2 tsp. ground cumin seed

Shredded Sharp Cheddar

Shredded Monterey Jack

chopped green onions

sour cream

Heat oil in large stockpot. Add onions and garlic and cook until tender. At the same time, brown meat in skillet. Drain off all fat. (I drain the meat in a colander and rinse it with hot water to remove as much fat as possible). Add to onion mixture. Add green pepper, tomato puree, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, marjoram, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt (if used) and cayenne pepper. Mix well. Add Kahlua and raise heat so mixture simmers. Add beans and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Serve in bowls garnished with shredded cheese, onion and sour cream.
