George’s Red, White & Black Beans

Everybody loves baked beans, and we love how easy they are to make. They love George’s too! Throw some of these together to put out alongside your July 4^th goodies, be it grilled beef, pork, chicken or simply hot dogs and burgers. Great with crusty bread for sop’n too! I like to spoon the juicy beans over grilled pork chop or sliced pork tenderloin.

1 pound                     bacon, cut into 1” pieces, slightly cooked, drippings saved
1 16 ounce can        red beans (kidney or pinto), drained
1 16 ounce can        white beans (navy or great northern), drained
1 16 ounce can        black bean, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup                      maple syrup
1/2 cup                      brown sugar
1/2 cup                      George’s Original or Hot Sauce
1/2 cup                      Georges Special Sauce
1/4 cup                      honey mustard
1 tablespoon            dry mustard

Preheat oven to 400. Throw all this stuff together in 11 x 7 baking. Stir it all together to mix together. Put into oven. After 15 minutes, reduce heat to 325. Continue baking until hot and bubbly and beans get a bit “tender,” about 30 total minutes.

Serve hot but ok for a bit a room temp.
