MacKenzie Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) I haven't made baked beans in a long time so here goes. In with the beans are 2 poblano peppers, some Tabasco, ends from 2 batches of homemade bacon, onion, garlic, mustard, brown sugar, Oro di Parma cider vinegar, molasses, beer, next time I'll use Guinness and salt and pepper. Just about ready after 6 or more hours on the grill @325F. Tomorrow I'll do a plated shot. Just sampling tonight.:) Beans are now done and I have just taken them off the grill. Little stir and we have- Edited June 11, 2016 by MacKenzie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 @MacKenzie - now we're talking! Those are some kind of wonderful looking baked beans.

dstr8 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'm sure they're as dee-lish as they look MacKenzie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Given how long you cooked them, I am assuming that they were dried beans? Regardless, they look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Great looking baked beans. I've done them a bunch of times. All were decent attempts just haven't gotten the recipe exactly right just yet (for me anyway). Reef's Bistro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks, everyone. Aussie Ora, not as hot as you might think, things seemed to have mellowed out during the cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Baked Beans ***** I was kind of winging it when I did the beans and this is pretty much what I did. The following recipe is what I'm going to do the next time I do baked beans. I can't remember if I minced a large clove of garlic for this recipe or not. It wouldn't hurt either way. 500 grams Organic White Navy beans 1 Sweet Onion, diced 1 large clove of garlic minced ½ C brown sugar, not packed 3 - 3 inch long squirts of Oro di Parma ½ C cider vinegar 2/3 C cup molasses 1 C of beer, use Guinness next time. (I used IPA because that is what I had.) 2 tsp salt 1t in water for boiling and one in finishing liquid. 1t dry mustard 4-5 shakes of Tabasco pepper sauce Bacon ends from 2 cured and smoked pork bellies 2 poblano peppers minced, next time I’d use 3 Add more liquid if it’s needed. Mine was quite wet and I did think I had added too much but it turned out to be just right. Instructions: 1) Bring a pot of water to boiling, turn heat off and add beans, soak overnight. Mine were still chalky when I put them on to boil. An indication that the beans were not fully hydrated. 2) Simmer 1-2 hours in salted water. I used 1 t of salt from ingredient list. 3) Mix the remaining 1t salt and the above ingredients in a Dutch oven. 4) Bake low and slow for 7 or more hours until bean texture is just right. I used 325 F and note it takes a long time for this big pot of beans in Le Creuset to heat up. Leave the cover off so that the beans will pick up some smoky flavour but keep an eye on the liquid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
