Keri's Hog-Apple Baked Beans

This recipe began life as APPLE PIE BAKED BEANS from somewhere on the web, but I think I've made enough changes to it now to claim it as my own.

This is my standard recipe for baked beans whenever I make them.

There's enough here to serve 12.

Ingredients:-

• 3 or 4 slices bacon, diced
  
• 2 (16 oz) cans pork and beans, mostly drained (modified to 2 28-oz cans Bush's Baked Beans - see note below)
  
• 1/2 c. Blues Hog BBQ Sauce (or other sweet-spicy favorite)
  
• 1 lb. smoked leftover smoked pork or beef, more or less, or 1 lb crumbled cooked pork sausage
  
• 1 can apple pie filling or peach pie filling
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped
  
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
  
• 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  
• 2 Tbsp. Mustard (prepared)
  
• 1 tsp chipotle or cayenne powder (optional, to taste*)
  
• 1 tsp Blues Hog barbecue rub (or your favorite rub)

Method:-

Brown the bacon in a large pan or Dutch oven and when done remove the bacon from the pan.

Now and sauté the onion and green pepper in bacon grease for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and the onion turns translucent.

Mix in remaining ingredients and remove from the direct heat. Bake in the oven at 325ºF or 160ºC for 1 hour.

If you haven't got the time then revert back to the stove top and simmer for 30 minutes.

*This is a rather spicy recipe due to the chipotle/cayenne powder. Feel free to leave it out if you'll be feeding those who prefer a less spicy taste.

Wow Keri,

That sounds like a recipe that I need to try. Certainly the apple pie baked beans recipe has been around for a while but yeah, I have to agree with you that there's enough of your own stamp on this one to claim it as yours.
