Found another of my grandmother’s recipe boxes in some old boxes. Here is her baked bean recipe:
Easy Homemade Baked Beans with Bacon
Ingredients •Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
•Onion (chopped) - 1 cup
•Olive oil - 1 teaspoon
•Bacon - 6 slices
•Pinto beans - 2 cups
•Baked beans - 2 cups
•Red kidney beans - 2 cups
•Great Northern beans - 2 cups
•Garbanzo beans - 1 ½ cups
•Ketchup - ¾ cup
•Pepper - ½ teaspoon
•Worcestershire sauce - 2 tablespoons
•Yellow mustard - 1 tablespoon
•Molasses - ½ cup
•Packed brown sugar - ¼ cup
Procedure
Use canned beans for this homemade baked beans recipe. Take a large deep skillet and add olive oil. Cook the bacon slices in the skillet and cook until the slices turn brown. Then, drain out the liquid and reserve 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Crumble the bacon slices and place them in a large bowl. Then, saute chopped onion and garlic in the reserved drippings of bacon in the skillet. Once the onion slices become tender, drain out the excess liquid and add it to bacon in the bowl. Then, add crumbled bacon into the onion and garlic mixture. Combine pinto beans, northern beans, baked beans, kidney beans and garbanzo beans with bacon mixture. Stir to mix the ingredients properly. Then add ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper to the bacon mixture. Mix all the ingredients to combine well and then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Cover the dish and bake the mixture in the preheated oven for an hour.
Oh, that sounds real good!
I like the molasses/brown sugar combo - I got to try that...
...and the Garlic! Must have Garlic! Excellent
