COWBOY BAKED BEANS RECIPE (OVEN OR SLOW COOKER)



Cowboy Baked Beans Recipe (Oven or Slow Cooker) image

Cowboy Baked Beans (aka Calico Beans) are loaded with ground beef and applewood smoked bacon. A great party food recipe for large groups.

Provided by Lisa Hatfield

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bacon (applewood smoked )
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 lb ground beef
48 ounces baked beans ((don't drain))
32 ounces kidney beans ((drain))
16 ounces cannellini beans ((drain) )
32 ounces black beans ((drain))
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Decide if you are going to make them in a slow cooker or bake in the oven. You can use a deep casserole dish or large pot like a dutch oven. I like a large heavy cast iron pot so I can cook in it and finish baking all in one. Slow cookers are great for parties to keep them warm for several hours.
  • Chop the sliced uncooked bacon into small pieces, over medium heat, brown the bacon in a heavy cast-iron skillet or a large cast iron dutch oven on the stove top using a wooden spoon. Tip, you can cut the bacon into small pieces with clean kitchen scissors right into the pot-I find this faster!
  • Remove the crispy cooked bacon to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Don't remove the bacon drippings from the pan. Next add the chopped onion and brown for 5-6 minutes until translucent, add the minced garlic, stir for one minute.
  • Next, brown the ground beef, cook for 6-8 minutes. Next, add the bacon, back in with the cooked ground beef, onion, and garlic.
  • Next, add 3 cans of baked beans (don't drain), 2 cans of kidney beans (drain), 1 can of cannellini beans (drain), and 2 cans of black beans (drain).
  • Add the remaining ingredients; brown sugar, cider vinegar, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Stir all the ingredients well to combine.
  • Place into the slow cooker or large dutch oven or large deep casserole dish. The baked beans usually doesn't all fit in one standard 9 x 13, you need a deeper dish.
  • Cook in slow cooker crockpot on low for 2 hours OR bake 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours in a large covered dish. Serve hot.

EASY COWBOY BEANS



Easy Cowboy Beans image

My family eats this as a main dish, usually with cornbread, but it's a wonderful side dish for picnics, potlucks, and camping. We like it sweet, so we add another 1/4 cup of brown sugar, but you could also spice it up by adding jalapenos or another kind of chilies. It's even good cold! It freezes very well, too.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb bacon
1/2 lb ground beef
1 onion
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans
1 (15 ounce) can lima beans
1 (15 ounce) can pork and beans

Steps:

  • Cook bacon until crispy. Drain and crumble. Put in large pot.
  • Brown ground beef and onions together. Drain. Add to pot. (Bacon can be cooked with the ground beef and onions if cut into chunks. I use kitchen shears to just cut through all the slices--into about 1-1/2" chunks.).
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. DO NOT drain the beans! Stir everything together.
  • Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer for about an hour. If you're going to let it simmer, don't add the lima beans right away, as they tend to fall apart.
  • These are generally better the next day, but are might fine the same day!
