Cookout Baked Beans

This is a family recipe for baked beans that I love!  I know that you can buy baked beans and cook them straight out of a can, but this is a good basic recipe for seasoning them yourself.

Cookout Baked Beans

1 large can Van Camps pork & beans
3/4 c ketchup
3/4 c white sugar
2 tbsp mustard
6 strips bacon
Mix all ingredients except bacon in large mixing bowl.  Pour into foil lined baking dish.  Top with strips of bacon.  Bake at 350 degrees for two hours.  If you are short on time, you can cook these on the stovetop and skip the bacon.  In a skillet, heat the beans over medium heat until sauce thickens.

Spicy Three Bean Chili

Strangely enough, it's in the 60s today in South Carolina.  Although it's mid-May, the cloudy, cool weather tempted me to make some chili for dinner tonight.  So here is my Spicy Three Bean Chili creation.  Enjoy!

Spicy Three Bean Chili

1 lb ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can black beans, drained
1 can light red kidney beans, drained
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained
1 can water
1 onion, diced
1 clove mince garlic
1 tbsp chili power
1/2 tsp red pepper (if you aren't a big fan of spicy food, cut this down to 1/4 or 1/8 tsp)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic, drain.  Add all ingredients to large soup pot, bring to a boil.  Lower heat, simmer at least 20 minutes.  Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

Black Bean Dip

Since it's Friday, here is something for a healthy weekend snack.  This is similar to a humus, but much more flavorful! 

Black Bean Dip

2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c chopped red onion
1/3 c salsa (mild or medium, the jalapenos add plenty of spice)
1/3 c chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 c margarita mix
2 tsp chopped jalapenos
1 tsp salt
lime
Pulse all ingredients in blender until smooth.  Serve with lime wedges and warm pita wedges (can also serve with tortilla chips).
