Title: bourbon baked beans from scratch
Post by: Nate on June 26, 2021, 05:33:10 PM
decided to try some bourbon baked beans from scratch.

PREP: 1 hour         
COOK: 5 hours                SERVES: 8

INGREDIENTS:
8 oz thick cut bacon diced   
1 large yellow onion diced      
3 tbls minced garlic
1 tsp paprika            
8oz tomato sauce         
1/3 C molasses
1/4 C bourbon            
2 tbls packed brown sugar      
2 tsp yellow mustard
1 tbls worcestershire sauce      
1 lb dried navy beans rinsed and picked through
Salt and pepper to taste      
8 C (1/2 gal) of water (you can use chicken stock as well)

- You will need a dutch oven that can hold at least 7 QTS

DIRECTIONS:
1. preheat oven to 300 deg
2. cook the bacon until just before crispy, remove from pot and drain some of the bacon grease. Not all of it, because you will brown the onions and garlic in it.
3. brown the onions and garlic until softened.
4. in a small bowl, mix the paprika, tomato sauce, molasses, bourbon, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard together to make a sauce.
5. add the sauce, beans, cooked bacon and 8 C water to the pot and stir to combine.
6. bring the mixture up to a boil, cover with lid and put in the oven for 3 hours while stirring every 45 minutes. The beans should be tender by this time. If they are not, leave in for another 45 minutes – 1 hour. Add more water if necessary.
7. when beans are tender, uncover the pot and increase the temp to 325 degrees and cook for another hour or until the beans are thick and browned.
8. remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.

ill get a pic when complete.

and i attached a word doc of the recipe so you can print off.

Alright, I'm going to have to try and make this sometime this summer. Possibly the same weekend I finally buy a smoker.. maybe at some point hopefully.

In all honesty bobby, i did it in the smoker because i did not want to heat up the house for almost 5 hours. I even did the bacon, onions and the rest of the prep on the outdoor propane stove.

I meant it more as I need/want a smoker.
