IT IS FRIDAY!!

wooo hoooo, you made it!

:-)

My mom reminded me of a Picnic Bean recipe I included in the 5 Ingredients or Less Slow Cooker cookbook.

I'm SO glad she reminded me -- because this is a super easy recipe to make when you want something "homemade" but not really.

;-)

This is Homemade in that you doctored up a can of pork n beans ---

which is NOT CHEATING.

it is called being resourceful.

(that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)

serves 8

1 (45 ounce can) Pork n Beans (or choose Bush's Baked Vegetarian if wanting to keep meat-free)
1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried mustard

Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the entire can of beans to the insert, then the molasses, sugar, onion, and mustard.

Stir well to combine.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours. Stir well again.

Let the beans sit uncovered and unplugged for 1 hour before serving slightly warm, or at room temperature.

The Verdict.

These beans will be a favorite at your next cookout or family barbecue. I, personally, like them best at room temperature, but you can also eat them steaming hot!

If you'd prefer to use fresh onion, use two small yellow onions, finely diced or grated (approx 1 1/4 cup onion).

Thank you, mom, for reminding me about these! I'm glad they were a hit at your picnic yesterday!!

:-)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
