Hit of the Picnic BBQ Baked Beans

By Bea McManis

Because people use different size cans of beans to make their dish, I am just going to give the basics.  Ingredients can be measured according to the size of dish prepared.

  1. 1 large can baked beans (Bush or Grandma Browns are best)
  2. Bacon (I crisp it first in the microwave, then cut into chunks, it doesn't make the beans greasy)
  3. Brown Sugar
  4. BBQ sauce (I like Kraft original for this)

Spread a layer of beans in a roasting pan.

Sprinkle bacon and brown sugar over the beans then drop, by tablespoon) BBQ sauce.  Do not stir in the BBQ sauce.

Continue layering and end with a layer of baked beans.

Bake at 350F until beans are bubbling.

Serve hot or cold.

(you can add chopped onions and/or a chopped chili pepper if you like the extra heat.)

Yum Bea, sounds good. Have you ever seen baked beans with ground beef in them?? I went to a picnic Sunday, and they had them simmering in a crock pot. They were quite good. Also, do you know the original Firemans Chicken Maranade recipe? I know it has eggs, poultry seasoning and vinegar. Kinda like Chevetta's.

Ingredients
Marinade:
2 cups vinegar
1 cup oil
1 egg
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
Pepper
6 to 8 chicken breasts
Directions
Put all ingredients (accept chicken) into a blender and blend until smooth.

Place chicken in an airtight container. Pour mixture over chicken and marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours (I allow mine to marinade overnight in the refrigerator). Remove chicken from marinade and cook over grill until done. Bring marinade to a boil and use to baste the chicken while cooking.
