Ultimate Savory Bean Recipe: Irresistibly Delicious

    1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of thick-cut bacon, sliced into half-inch pieces
  • A quarter cup of water
  • Chopped green onions from three bunches
  • One package of golden brown sugar weighing 16 ounces
  • A bottle of tomato-based chili sauce, 12 ounces (like Heinz®)
  • Three cans of pork and beans in tomato sauce, each can weighing 15 ounces (like VanCamp's®)
  • Three cans of drained kidney beans, each can weighing 15 ounces
  • Three cans of drained lima beans, each can weighing 15 ounces

Step 1

Begin by placing the bacon in a Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Let it saute until it reaches a delightful crispiness, turning it occasionally. This should take around 5 to 6 minutes. Once done, carefully drain the bacon on paper towels, ensuring you reserve 3 tablespoons of the flavorful bacon grease for later use.

Step 2

In the same pot, add a splash of water, about 1/4 cup, and bring it to a vigorous boil. Make sure to scrape up all the delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan as the water evaporates. Now, introduce the reserved bacon grease back into the mix, along with some finely chopped green onions. Let them saute until they become tender and aromatic, which should take approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Next, sprinkle in the brown sugar gradually, about a quarter cup at a time, allowing it to caramelize and develop a rich flavor for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

After the sugar has taken on a lovely golden hue, stir in the chili sauce and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to marry the flavors. Proceed by adding the pork and beans, kidney beans, and lima beans into the pot, ensuring they are all thoroughly coated in the delectable sauce.

Step 4

Reunite the crispy bacon with the bean mixture, combining everything well. Cover the pot and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the flavors meld together over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking or burning, for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Begin by choosing the perfect container for your beans - a sturdy glass jar or airtight Tupperware will do the trick.
  2. 2. When storing your cooked beans, make sure to let them cool completely before sealing the container to prevent condensation.
  3. 3. Keep your beans in a cool, dark place to maintain their flavor and texture. A pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight is ideal.
