Cook on Sunday, eat on till Thursday. I'm Allie and you’re watching Economy Bites
Today we’re going to make baked barbecue beans. Yummy. Just like they used to eat in cowboy times out on the range. Home, home with the beans.
You mean that's not the song, barbecue beans is good for the summer. You eat them on toast, it won't be a bummer. I wrote this song myself. I'm the guy for you. I'm looking out for you.
The way we often do, we started with an onion. Three yellow onions. My onion, the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you compute. You are chopping now, I know I am not computing the onion.
There's just a lot of things coming out of my mouth. Quietly losing her mind. I'm so funny and quotable.
Now let's do three cloves of garlic. Dun-duh-foo. In all shapes, in all shapes. Boom.
So now we’re going to mix our sauce for our barbecue baked beans.
Major traffic jam. There's a goat. No, there's not really a goat.
So, molasses. This is going to give the, it kind of stinks. This is going to give it a nice sweet taste. Add a couple of molasses. And the good thing about molasses is that it last forever.
I don’t know if I want to buy that ingredient, because I don’t know how often I'm going to use it. Go bad, but this will not go bad. Best if you use by 2012, that's 3 years.
Now we’re going to do half a cup of barbecue sauce, use your favorite barbecue sauce. My favorite barbecue sauce, they don’t sell in my grocery store, because it’s from Austin, Texas. And half a cup of ketchup.
Now, last time I use ketchup, people were like,”why are you using ketchup? Ketchup is full of sugar.” Like, “I can't believe that ketchup is one of the ingredients of your recipe.” But, you know, I beg to differ. Ketchup is an all American condiment. It is the most American condiment, and fuck you. That’s what I say to you ketchup haters. Its part of many sauces, you probably eat it more than you think you do. Just lighten up, okay. It’s not that big of a deal. That’s what I say.
So let's start with the cider vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoon. Also 1 1/2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Come on, come on. 4 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Baked beans are sweet, barbecue baked beans anyway. Awesome. Let's respect together, shall we? Lop sauce.
Okay, so now we have our sauce already to go. Let’s start putting everything together. I then medium heat. And I'm going to take 6 slices of thick cut bacon. It is still cool to like or is it like, everybody like bacon so much, now it’s not cool anymore. What do you think? Excuse, I'm spitting all the answer.
I'm going to cook them up. I’ll use that bacon grease to cook up my onions and garlic. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bacon. It takes a little while of time to cook them.
It’s been about 3-4 minutes. Use our tongs here. See how much oil it created. I'm going to pour out some of this grease, which I've heard you shouldn’t pour in the sink. But not that much anyway. I'm just going to leave about a tablespoon of it. Bam.
Now we want to cook this for about 5 minutes, until everything is soft and loose. I have here 3 cans of dark red kidney beans. You could use large white beans to if you want to. I like the kidney beans because they have a lot, they're meaty.
I just want to rinse this. This guy really doesn’t want to come out. God must have turned the cloud. Rim that gloppy bean juice.
You're going to rinse this in cold water. I'm letting this cook, they're getting nice and brown. I just hit it with a pinch of salt.
This I've been cooking about 5 minutes. They are nice and brown.
I'm going to add my beans and I'm going to add my sauce mixture. Let's get everything all mix in here.
Crumble up my bacon. Now we’re just going to turn the heat on the low. We’re going to simmer it for 15 minutes or so and then we’ll take a taste. Let's look at our beans.
So we actually let them cook for about 20 minutes. The sauce thickens up, so you can cook your beans till they get to the point where they're the consistency that you like.
I'm going to serve some of these barbecue beans on toast, the way cowboys ate them. So let's take a bite. Yum-yum-yum. I'm excited.
Uhm. Honestly, like I would eat this for lunch any fucking day of the week. This is delicious. Barbecue beans, serve on toast. Make some ribs, you make some cold pork, some barbecue chicken. You can eat it with salad. You could just eat it as a dip with crackers, even with Lay.
Anyway, they taste delicious. You're going to love them.
Cook on Sunday, eat till Thursday. I'm Allie and I’ll see you next time.
I don’t know. Well, they're going to get married. That's going to be a perfect wedding. And she's going to get her dress at Klinefelds and everything is going to be perfect. It’s like everybody’s life ends up that way. Isn’t it?
