This is a hearty side dish that is made from minced beef with bacon, peppers, onion, baked beans, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce. Try this simple recipe to make yet another sweet and savory side dish with baked beans.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s most likely that the name originates from the time when pioneers had to travel the long trails and wanted to eat something quick, easy, and filling. Beans were an ideal choice for taking on long journeys, as they can be prepared with just water, and they last a very long time. Adding minced beef makes it even more substantial and filling, too.<\/p>\n
Minced beef is the best thing to use for this recipe, but alternatives such as minced turkey could also be used.<\/p>\n
The bacon needs to be cooked and crumbled before it is added to the pot. The easiest way to do this is to bake the bacon beforehand on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil. Bake for 18-20 minutes at a temperature of 415\u00b0F.<\/p>\n
Almost any vegetables can be added, but onions and bell peppers work particularly well for this dish.<\/p>\n
Season the mixture with a little garlic salt and onion powder.<\/p>\n
Any brand of baked beans can be used. Two 28-ounce cans are needed.<\/p>\n
As for the baked beans, any type of barbecue sauce can be used. Alternatively, try this homemade barbecue sauce.<\/p>\n
Dijon mustard works well in this recipe, but any type of yellow mustard will work, too.<\/p>\n
Whether you call this a side dish or a light meal, there is certainly much more to this than just a bowl of baked beans. And it even has a sweet and savory flavor.
\nYou will need a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pot with a lid, maybe something like a Dutch oven. A 4-quart size is good. Make sure also that the pot you use is oven safe.<\/p>\n
There is no problem with freezing any leftover cowboy beans. Make sure that the beans are completely cool and transfer them into a freezer-safe container. Remember to add a label and write the date on the container. The frozen beans will last 6 months.<\/p>\n
