Baked Beans

I am going to share some of my favorite family recipes that I love. The first recipe that I am going to share is my dad's baked beans recipe. He doesn't actually bake them but rather cooks them on the stove top in a huge cast iron skillet. So, lets get started.

Things you will need
Cast Iron Skillet (large enough to hold 4-16oz cans of pork & beans)
Large hard plastic or rubber type basting spoon
3/4 Cup measuring device
1/4 Cup measuring device
Tablespoon measuring spoon
Teaspoon measuring spoon
1/2 Teaspoon measuring spoon

Ingredients
4 - 16oz cans of pork & beans
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp mustard
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp dried onion
dash of salt and pepper

Instructions
Pour all four cans of pork & beans into cast iron skillet and turn burner to medium high heat. Add ketchup and mustard and stir. Add brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon and dried onions and stir. Add a dash of salt and pepper and stir. Let this come to a boil while slowly stirring. After it has come to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for about 30 minutes stirring frequently to keep the beans from sticking to the skillet. It will thicken as it cooks. 

Last thoughts
I hope you enjoy these baked beans as my family and friends have over the years. We always take them to family picnics and outings. I will put some pictures up the next time I make a batch of these delicious baked beans. If you want to make a half batch, just cut all ingredients in half as close as you can come, I've done this before and they turn out just fine.

Good day and happy cooking,
