Baked Beans-a-Rama and Smokapalooza 2010 →[More:]

I made these yesterday in a crock pot and they're amazing. I didn't use the bacon. Bacon grosses me out. I know...it's very much against everything that MetaChat stands for.

But back to the beans, they were NOMS. MAKE THEM. We made this smoked pulled pork too, using a cast iron smoke box filled with hickory chips, placed in our grill. It was a smokapalooza.

Tonight I'm making squash fritters with the golden squash from our garden. Fritters is good people!

Oh and what about this pasta with anchovy thing? I'll be making that this week. Oh yes.

Oh, ok, wait, that's not your blog, I get it now. It's a good one, though. The blog. Beans look good.

Costco had a coupon a couple months ago for an 8-pack of cans of a "Premium" brand of baked beans I'd never heard of for 6 bucks. I thought 'what the heck' and got them and they were AWFUL. The beans were undercooked and the sauce was downright bland, so the other 7 cans have been shoved into the back of my pantry. But that recipe gives me an idea to use the bad canned beans as if they were the ones after the first cooking, add all those delightful flavorings (including the bacon) and bake them for several days. Wish me luck.
