Texas Style Beans
I can’t believe it’s Memorial Day weekend already! Where did the first half of the year go? It really caught me off guard this year and I suppose it could be the change of job, city, overall life! If you are in need of great recipes for the first official BBQ of the season, you can always search for the dishes you need from fried chicken to hamburgers to side dishes.
Today I thought I would share a great recipe for Texas style beans. They are spicy compared to traditional baked beans so make both for your guests!
Ingredients:
2 c. pinto beans
1/4 lb. salt pork, diced
1 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. salt
dash pepper
2-16 oz. cans tomatoes
3/4 c. diced green pepper
1 Tbsp. sugar
6 drops hot pepper sauce (occasionally I lose count and just shake away)
In 2-quart bean pot, cover beans with water; soak overnight. Do not drain. Add salt pork, onion, garlic, salt and pepper to the beans. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Add tomatoes, green pepper, sugar and hot pepper sauce. Cover and simmer 3 hours. Enjoy!
You can serve these with corn bread or on their own. I think no BBQ is complete without beans.
