Happy Sunday, Slow Cookerers!!
I hope you are enjoying your long weekend.
we are in the middle of a heat wave here in San Francisco --- and I know that in general people from the bay area are huge honking wusses when it comes to WEATHER....
I get
it.
So I'm not going to complain about how hot it is.
But it's hot.
that's not a complaint ..... simply a fact.
;-)
You should make them too.
:-)
serves 12-16 or so
1 pound lean ground meat, browned and drained
1 pound smoked bacon, browned, drained, and diced
1 medium onion, diced and browned
1 cup ketchup (no need to brown!)
1/4 cup brown sugar (already brown!)
1 (30-ounce) can Pork n' Beans (I love products with
the "n" instead of an &)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed (they look like huge lima beans, and if they aren't in the bean section, try the canned veggie section)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (yup, it's gluten free!)
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart or
larger crockpot. This makes a lot.
In a large skillet, brown the hamburger, bacon, and onion.
Since I love my Ninja an awful lot, I used that -- and used the Oven Setting -- if you keep the lid on, nothing splatters! YAY!
While the meats and onion are browning, add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker.
No need to really stir things up quite yet, or the beans will fall apart.
Drain the meats well, and dump into the slow cooker. Use a large spoon to gingerly fold in the hot ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Stir well and serve to your very best friends.
The Verdict.
I really
like these beans. And I mean I really, really, really, really like these beans.
:-)
These are my go-to potluck beans that make everyone in the entire world happy. :-)
There's bacon and beef in here in the original recipe but I've made it OFTEN with turkey bacon and ground turkey and noone can tell the difference!
Enjoy your Labor Day! Enjoy your family!
happy slow cooking!!
