Barbecue Bean Recipes

Total Time: about 2 hours, total

Yield: 6 or so

Ingredients:

• 1 32 oz. can black beans
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp molasses
• 3 Tbsp ketchup
• 3 Tbsp bacon fat
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar (I had none, so used balsamic vinegar instead).
• 2 Tbsp green chiles, chopped
• 1/4 tsp cayenne (I had none, so used smoked chipotle)

Steps:

1. Combine all ingredients. Cook on medium heat. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour 15 minutes, until thickened, stirring occasionally.

2. When you start out, there is a lot of liquid, compared to the amount of beans. But, don't worry. When the beans simmer, the liquid will reduce down. Mine reduced almost by half.


3. Let cool a little. The beans will thicken as they cool down.
