 BUSH'S
BEST ORIGINAL BAKED BEANS MEETDOCTOR JIM TO SERVE THE VERY BEST YOU MUST START WITH THE BEST. IF YOU ARE A FOOD PRODUCER AND YOU MAKE A BETTER BAKED BEAN SEND ME A SAMPLE TO REVIEW. |
|
THIS RECIPE IS BASED ON 1 GALLON OF BAKED BEANS, OR ABOUT 7 1/2 LB. |
|
|
3 LARGE ONIONS. I PREFER VIDALIA ONIONS. CUT TO CHUNKED PIECES. |
| 8 OUNCE CUP DARK BROWN SUGAR |
| 8 OUNCES APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, OR MORE ADD TO YOUR TASTE PREFERENCE. |
3 LB. BACON ENDS. CUT INTO 1 TO 1 1/4 INCH STRIPS. PAN FRY OR MICROWAVE TO RENDER OUT ALL EXCESS FAT. BACON IS DONE WHEN COLOR IS DARK BROW. |
| 1 TEASPOON OF McCORMICK GRILL MATES MONTREAL STEAK SEASONING. |
| COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS AND MIX THOROUGHLY. |
| COVER, AND PUT INTO A PRE HEATED OVEN AND BAKE AT 350 FOR AT LEAST 1 HOUR. STIR ABOUT EVERY 20 MINUTES. THE ONIONS SHOULD NOW BE TRANSLUCENT IN COLOR. IF THE FLUIDS HAVE NOT BEEN ABSORBED INTO THE BEANS COMPLETELY, STIR AND ALLOW TO BAKE SOME MORE WITH THE COVER REMOVED. IF YOU PREFER YOUR BEANS A LITTLE JUICER YOU CAN QUITE COOKING AFTER THE ONIONS HAVE BECOME TRANSLUCENT. |
|
|
| MICROWAVE COOKING: 1 HOUR ON HIGH, STIR EVERY 20 MINUTES FROM THE OUTSIDE BOWL EDGE LIFTING TOWARD THE CENTER. THE CENTER DOES NOT COOK AS FAST AND THIS ALLOWS EVERYTHING TO COOK EVENLY. THE ONIONS SHOULD BE TRANSLUCENT IN COLOR WHEN DONE. I USE GLADWARE. |
|
|
|
ADD A LITTLE COLOR: TOP WITH MANCINI ROASTED RED PEPPERS JUST BEFORE YOU ARE READY TO PUT OUT ON THE TABLE. |
