Original Blog Entry: Stove top beans

JAP69 — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 16:18:13 GMT

I like beans now and then to go with my food intake. I buy canned beans at the store now and then also but prefer to make my own.

This is how I do it.

I take my quantity of beans I am using for my recipe and place them in a stove top pot with the amount of water required. Just plain water not adding anything. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour covered or until done. Strain and return to pot adding my ingredients and simmer for 1 hour. If I want beans with meat [sausage or beef] I will pre fry the meat and add to pot. One pound or so of ground meat.

Adjustable recipe depending on the spices you like.

16 oz red kidney beans

1 onion of choice [ pre glazed in frying pan]

1 green pepper, diced

3/4 cup smoked BBQ sauce

1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tsp dry mustard or a splash or two of mustard of choice

14 oz drained tomatoes [ I have used inexpensive spaghetti sauce at one time]

1 tbsp paprika

1/2 tsp cumen

1 tbsp cajun seasoning

Adjust thickness desired by adding liquid of choice. [ I have used apple cider juice at one time or another]

I like my beans that are not running all over the plate.
