John Willingham s Sweet & Sassy Beans
Ingredients:
1/4 pound breakfast sausage or bacon - crumbled
1/4 cup onion -- diced
1/4 pound pulled or chopped smoked pork butt
4 cups pork n beans
1/4 cup sweet barbecue sauce
1/2 cup molasses
1-1/2 tablespoon W ham mild seasoning
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke -- (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large skillet, cook the sausage and
onion over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the sausage is
browned and the onion softened. Add the pork and cook for 2 to 3 minutes
longer until the meat is just heated through. Set aside. In a large
bowl, combine the pork and beans, sauce, molasses, seasoning mix and
liquid smoke, if using it. Stir well and transfer into a deep casserole.
The dish should be large enough to hold the mixture so that it is
no deeper than 4 inches and no shallower than 2 inches. Add the sausage/pork
mixture. Stir well. Cook in the oven, covered, for 2-1/2 hours until
hot and bubbling and the flavors are well- blended. [Editor-If you're
smoking some meat, put the beans in the smoker to cook. You'll get
a delicious smoky flavor.] |
