Our Baked Beans-Answer Kathleen And 2 Recipes

[Guest guest]

Kathleen I do a great amount of shopping a a resturant supply complany.

they sell 32 oz cans of vegetarian baked beans, the problem is they

don't have much flavor so we change it add some of our own little hints

and spices and and make it better. It just a tin can with vegetarian

beans on the label no other information. to use smaller cans use 4 cans

and then make the recipe as stated.

Or i have included 2 recipes below for other ways of making Baked beans

that we have used before. the first is for from scratch the second is

with canned beans.

With 7 kids i don't always have the time to soak beans, so i use what i

can.

Oh and most baked bean recipes do use pinto beans, but i have used

cannellini beans too. To kind the larger cans of beans costco has some

here and check your phone book for a supplier, most do sell to the

public here.

I like the combination of ingredients, but the source for the beans.

64 ounces of baked beans--I have a question. Are these canned beans? I

rarely use canned beans, so how can I make this from scratch? Are these

beans navy beans? What seasonings are used in the canning process? Do

they actually come in a can that holds 64 ounces or is this multiple

cans? What brand are you talking about. I have never sean anything in

my local grocery store described as seasoned baked beans.

Homemade Baked Beans

season lightly with salt and pepper, and cover with 2 cups boiling

water. Mix well.

Cover and cook in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/4 hours,

stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and rich in taste and

texture. Check seasoning and add extra Worcestershire sauce, if

necessary, and extra molasses, if slightly bitter. Serves 15 to 20.
