Well, I need to share the story behind these beans. Not only are they the best baked beans I have ever had, I got the recipe from 2 of my dearest friends...Alan Shipley and Judy Parnell. We all worked together in Mississippi, and Judy lives on the river in a great house that she calls the "fish camp"...she invited us all out for some great food and great music! (that girl can sing!!!!) so, we arrived and i went inside where she was stirring something up and I asked her what she was doing. Her reply was "I'm buildin' beans"....i laughed so hard! and said "WHAT?" she said she was building up some baked beans...and these are the beans she was buildin'. Alan added some ingredients I think, but this is the final recipe and they are delicious!!!!!
NOTE: this recipe is for 25 servings, so what I do for a smaller crowd is use 3 small cans of the Bush's Grillin' Beans flavored with Bourbon and Brown Sugar and it works great. I also use Famous Dave's BBQ sauce instead of Bulls Eye, only because i love Famous Dave's....I use 1 lb of the ground beef and the other ingredients as much as you would like:
1 can (117 oz) Bush's Original Baked Beans (use onion flavored or what ever desired, just don't use the BBQ flavored)
4 lbs lean ground beef
2 medium onions
1 large bell pepper
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 21oz. bottle of Hunts Original BBQ sauce
1/2 cup Bulls Eye Honey Smoke BBQ sauce
1/4 cup Tomato ketchup
4 tablespoons yellow mustard
4 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
Chop 2 medium onions and bell pepper very fine.
Saute' until onion is transparent
Brown ground beef . Pour off excess juice.
Mix meat, onions, pepper together and finish cooking.
Salt/season to taste
Add meat to beans and warm to eating temperature
Add brown sugar, BBQ sauces, mustard, and ranch dressing.
Stir well. Heat to desired temp and serve!
