Outstanding Baked Beans
About once a year, I give in and make my husband one of my husbands favorite dishes - baked beans. I got a double thumbs up from him today with this recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cans of beans of your choice - I used 1 can Cannellini beans and 1 can of Adzuki beans because that's what I had on hand.
1 cup of Wildtree's Cactus Pete's Agave BBQ Sauce
1 tsp Mustard
¼ cup Wildtree's Ketchup
Bake at 350 until beans & sauce thicken and top browns.
DONNA'S AWARD WINNING CHILI
Ok - so the "award" is only from my husband and family -- but that's who matters the most to me so I'll take it with pride!!This is a recipe that I've tweeked and tweeked over the years and now that I have Wildtree it is complete! Warning: We like our chili with a bbq/sweet/spicy flair -- so if that doesn't fit your tastebuds don't say you weren't forewarned!!
1 lb ground beef or venison
1 lb spicy turkey sausage
Wildtree Jalapeno Grapeseed Oil
2 cans of chili beans,drained (we like Cannellini as opposed to Kidney but either work)
1can of black beans
1 28 oz can of tomato sauce (or if you have frozen tomatoes like me - defrost them and throw in the Magic Bullet)
1 6 oz can of tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup Wildtree's Own Ketchup
2 Tablespoons of Leslie's Chili Spice Blend
1/2 cup Leslie's Smoky BBQ Sauce
1 tablespoon Wildtree's Hickory Grilling GSO
1 large sweet onion, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp Wildtree Jalapeno Pepper Blend (adjust to your taste buds)
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. Maple Syrup
Brown the meats in the Jalapeno Grapeseed oil --then add to crockpot along with all the other ingredients and let slow cook for several hours. Taste test as you go and adjust the sweetness...smokiness..hotness...to your tastebuds.
