Dad-Gummed Good Beans
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups smoked chicken, turkey, beef, pork
or Chorizo
1 can pork and beans, 1/2 liquid reserved
1 can red kidney beans -- drained
1 can black beans -- drained
1 can tomato sauce -- optional
2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and peeled -- diced
1 medium onion -- diced
jalapenos to taste
1 bottle barbecue sauce
1 bottle maple syrup
Instructions:
Drain the kidney and black beans and dump them into a colander, drain
the Pork N' Beans, and save about half the liquid, or substitute a
small can of Tomato Sauce. Dump the Pork N' Beans in the colander
with the other two, and rinse with cold water. Pour the reserved Pork
N' Beans liquid, or tomato sauce into a large stewpot and place on
the stove on medium low to low heat. Dump in the beans. Add the meat,
chilies, apples and onions. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the Pancake/Waffle
syrup. Substitute Brown Sugar if you like. Sweeten to taste. Now add,
in enough barbecue sauce to make a very thick, stiff stew. Be very
careful, remember that as this cooks, the liquid from the apples and
onions will thin this out a bit as it heats up. You want it just liquid
enough to heat thoroughly on low. Add more barbecue sauce if you need
it. Heat and simmer, and be sure to keep stirring from the bottom,
with a wooden spoon, about every ten minutes or so. |
