I figured since Jeremy wanted to watch the Daytona 500 today that it would be the perfect day for BBQ ribs. I've spent most of the day in the kitchen making potato salad and a lemon pound cake. We are also having corn on the cob and baked beans. I thought I'd take a minute and share this recipe with you. I have taken Granny Crowder's baked beans and made them my own. I hope you enjoy!
Sweet and Savory Baked Beans
3 strips of bacon
1 lb. ground chuck
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
2 (28oz.) cans original baked beans (I use Bush's)
1 c. brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon grill season (I use McCormick Montreal steak)
In a dutch oven (or any heavy bottomed pan), fry the bacon over medium heat until it is crisp then remove it from the pan.
Add the onion, ground chuck and grill season and cook until the meat is brown.
While the meat is browning, chop the bacon into little pieces.
Drain the meat and return it to the pot.
Turn the heat to low then add the brown sugar and salt and stir it until the sugar is melted.
Add the baked beans and chopped bacon and simmer on low heat for 30-45 min.
