How To Make leslie's baked beans
-
Step 1In a large pot, brown the sausage and bacon. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. (I do not drain the drippings.)
-
Step 2Add vinegar, crushed pineapple, and seasonings (clove, cinnamon). Sometimes I shake some basil & tarragon into the mixture, too.
-
Step 3Add pineapple, brown sugar, A-1 and honey or maple syrup. Stir.
-
Step 4Empty mixture into a crock pot and cook on low for several hours; or into a baking dish and bake @ 350 degrees until thick and bubbly.
-
Step 5Hint: Too thick? Add orange juice, apple juice or vinegar. Too thin? Cook longer or add more beans.
-
Step 6Granish with fresh parsley or fresh basil Serve in heated crock pot, if possible.
