Kathee's Baked Beans

Once upon a time, Kathee Crocker found the best recipe for baked beans ever in her life. Everyone loved them, they disappeared first every time she took them to a potluck. Then, one tragic day, Kathee went to get her recipe for "the beans" as they had become known by then, and alas, it was gone!!! She had to re-create it, FROM HER MEMORY. That should alarm you folks, because we all know she's got some issues there (ahem). This is very close to the yummy beans, and if anyone (Corn) might have the bean recipe, please share it with Kathee again. The end.

Ingredients:

2 cans (16 oz.) Bush's baked beans
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 bottle chili sauce
2 tbsp. molasses
1 green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
2 tsp. cumin
1 tbsp. chili powder

Cook the bacon, set aside to crumble. Saute the pepper and onion in the bacon grease. Combine the rest of the ingredients, plus the bacon, pepper and onion in an ovensafe container. Cook at 350 for 40 minutes. Don't get mad at me if this isn't as good as it used to be, I'm "special", I can't 'member things anymore!!

I don't! You never gave that one to me. I use this recipe (It's super yum!)...

Baked Beans

3 slices bacon
½ cup onion
1 – 31 ounce can pork and beans in tomato sauce
¼ cup catsup
2 Tbs. brown sugar or molasses
2 tsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

In a skillet cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving 1 Tbs. of the drippings. Drain and crumble bacon. Set aside. Cook onion in reserved bacon drippings over medium heat until tender but not brown. In a 1 ½ quart casserole, combine onion, pork and beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 1 hour or to desired consistency. Stir bean mixture; top with bacon. Let stand 5 minutes before stirring.

By the way, great music...but wait, where's "She's my cherry pie"???
