My Family Recipe

 

I think it’s time to offically call this a family recipe!

I have been makiing this baked bean recipe for years and it’s always been such a hit with family and friends. It’s a great side dish for any bbq, but I usually make it for the 4th of July because it’s so easy and packs so much flavor. Everyone always ask for the recipe and I am happy to share it!

This is a BIG recipe and meant to feed about 10-12 people, but I’ve also made this for a smaller week night dinner with just the Fam. Later on in the post I’ll talk about spiltting this recipe in half!

Ingredients:

  • Ranch Style Beans (picture bellow)
  • yellow onion
  • 1-2 jalapenos- diced- 1 for flavor, 2 for a kick
  • bacon
  •  brown sugar- can be subsituted for coconut sugar or honey
  • BBQ sauce
  • yellow mustard 
  • whiskey- definetly adds flavor, but totally optional!
  • water 

The Prep:

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees, then rinse and drain your beans.
  • Dice the onions and jalapeno and chop the bacon into chunks- add to the beans.
  • Add the brown sugar, BBQ sauce, mustard, whiskey and water to the beans and give it a good stir.
  • Cover the beans with tin foil and bake in the oven at 400 for 1 hour- after and hour, uncover the beans and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
  • These beans could also be made in the crockpot! Just throw them in there for 4 hours on low. That would make traveling with them so much easier! 
  • Let the beans sit for about 10-20 minutes before serving.

Cutting the batch in half:

 

I usually make this recipe for larger gatherings, but it is so simple to cut the recipe in half or even smaller.

You can use 2- 15oz cans of beans to make a smaller batch- cutting all of the other ingredients down to 1/2 as well and bake it in a 8×8 baking dish or even stove top. So easy!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of july!

Tell everyone at the BBQ where you found the recipe!
