Bean There...Done That. Everything Beans!

While "beating the bush baked beans" on the shelf,we discovered bourbon beans. They are great! What kind of beans have you bean into?

Sounds like the old service stations; Get gas and get drunk here.

 

[Meanderer]

HAHA! Good one John!

Does anyone make baked beans from scratch any more? I cheat, sautee some onions, open a can, a little brown sugar and pass it off as home made.

 

[Meanderer]

These are Bourbon with Brown Sugar. They have three other kinds, which we haven't tried. They gotta be way easier and better than home made.

I love beans...any sort...but my all time favourites are borlotti beans cooked with smoked ham..tomato and garlic sauce...and a crusty french loaf...yums!

 

[Meanderer]

That sounds good....Borlotti beans are new to me!

Mine are much the same, Lee. I might add bacon or ground beef at times. The cheapest pork and beans do fine and turn out better than those expensive ready to eat canned baked beans.

We don't make baked beans, but my chef....hubby...uses beans/legumes a lot in veggie chili and veggie curry. Kidney beans, black eyes peas, chickpeas, butterbeans, etc. We buy them dried and he cooks them first in the pressure cooker.

Grandma Browns baked beans. Hard to find but are delicious. Sprinkle some vinegar on them and enjoy.

 

[Pappy]

I just looked them up and they are on Amazon if anyone is interested.

 

[Meanderer]

We've been getting Bourbon beans!

 

[Pappy]

Love them, Jim. We get them down here.

I cheat on the baked beans, too. When I really want to make something extra, I used canned baked beans (always Bush's) and add onions, green peppers, cubed ham and pineapple chunks. Throw in some extra ketchup, spicy mustard and brown sugar and you have some major yum-yums.

One dish I like to make is Wiener Bean-pot casserole. I plan to try smoked sausage sliced into it instead of ball park wieners (pork & chicken)

I think that the more often you eat beans and lentils and such, the less problems you have. Maybe it takes a certain sort of gut flora (or is that gut fauna ?) to deal with all that fibre? Could that explain the average persons difficulties with beans do you think?

 

[jujube]

In the words of the immortal somebody......

Beans, beans, the musical fruit,
the more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel.
So let's eat beans for every meal!

 

[Pappy]

Then there is always this kind of bean.
