Baked Beans Recipe with Bacon & Hotdogs
Food & Cooking Tips
Flavorful
Baked Beans with Maple Syrup
One
of my family's favorite cook out dishes is tasty and hearty baked beans
which are full of maple syrup, hot dogs, bacon, onions and wonderful flavorings.
I like them loaded with onions,
bacon and sliced hot dogs. These baked beans aren't what I could consider
healthy eating so if you're faint of heart or on a diet where you don't
eat bacon and regular hot dogs you may want to pass this recipe idea by,
or don't use the bacon and use turkey hotdogs.
Baked Beans with Maple Syrup
Unfortunately I don't have
exact measurements for this recipe. You'll have to use your own instincts
as to how much ketsup, bbq sauce, etc. to add. I've cooked it so many
times over the years it's just second nature to prepare it now.
To make these baked beans you'll need to start with whatever amount you think you'll need. I generally buy Hanover baked beans in a large size can, one or two depending on the crowd. I pass up the more expensive flavored beans because I want to flavor them to my taste. I buy six to eight pieces of thick sliced bacon from the deli counter at the store. You'll need onions, ketchup, bbq sauce, Coleman's mustard, Maple syrup (you could substitute brown sugar). I prefer maple syrup to molasses which has a heavier flavor. I save three of the bacon slices to put on the top of the baked beans while they bake. So, cut up four or five slices of the bacon. Put it in a small pot and heat on the stovetop. Chop whatever amount of onions you think you want for the beans. Cook the bacon in the pot. When the bacon has rendered some of it's fat put in the onions. Sauté until the onions soften. Remove from heat.
Open the can of beans and pour
through strainer so you reserve the liquid separately from the beans.
Put the beans in a bowl. Add the bacon and onion mixture, stir. Add ketchup
and bbq sauce, in somewhat equal amounts. I'd add more than less. Add
a small amount of the Coleman's mustard just to give it a bit of a kick,
be careful it's really hot. You can use dry mustard. Add a small amount
of Maple syrup, not too much, you don't want them too sweet. Again, depending
on your preference slice up one or two hot dogs and stir into the beans.
I like to add Nathans Famous hotdogs. If you think it's needed add some
of the juice you retained from the can.
Pour the beans into a shallow baking dish and arrange the bacon slices
on top. Put in 350 degree oven. Keep an eye on them. If you think they're
drying out add some juice and stir in trying not to disturb the bacon
on the surface too much. I cook them about 30-45 minutes this way. When
they're done I put the oven on low, cover them with aluminum foil until
serving time.

Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes, Turkey Help
I took the turkey out of the freezer and put it into the refrigerator two days before Thanksgiving so that it would thaw thoroughly. I also kept an eye on it to make sure it was thawing. The day before Thanksgiving I got the turkey out, removed the giblets and rinsed it. I put the turkey back in the refrigerator.
