HOMESTEAD COWBOY BEANS



Homestead Cowboy Beans image

I have an enormous family and all of the men go trail riding several times a year and these beans are one of the things they look forward to. My aunts and I put together their favorite combination several years ago, and have it ready at their camp, and they are some happy cowboys! You can mix different beans to your liking (lima, kidney, etc.), but the boys in our family like this mixture the best.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 4h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound bacon
2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 (55 ounce) can baked beans (such as Bush's®)
2 (15 ounce) cans Great Northern beans
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans
1 (15 ounce) can pork and beans

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic or locally-sourced beans, fresh vegetables, and flavorful spices will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Cook the beans properly. Soaking the beans overnight or using a quick-soak method will help them cook more evenly and quickly. Be sure to rinse the beans well before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the beans. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings to create a flavorful dish. Chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic, and onion are all classic spices that work well in cowboy beans. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste, such as oregano, thyme, or cayenne pepper.
  • Add some sweetness to balance out the heat. A little bit of brown sugar, honey, or molasses will help to balance out the heat of the spices and create a more complex flavor profile.
  • Serve cowboy beans with your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Spicy cowboy beans are a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual meal or a party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spicy cowboy beans a try. You won't be disappointed.
