5 garlic cloves, minced
1 Pablono chili, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
salt
2 cups sweet and sticky B.B.Q. sauce. ( your favorite, but I recommend " Baby Ray's Honey )
2 15½ ounce cans baked beans ( again, your fav.)
1 19 ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinced
1 19 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinced
2 to 3 pounds lean bacon, thin sliced
In a 12" Dutch oven, with about 14 to 16 charcoals under, heat oil, saute garlic, onions, and chili, salt to taste; stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tinder. About 8 minutes. Remove veggies, and reserve. Remove from heat, line the oven with the bacon up the inside of oven and let hang over the out side. In a mixing bowl; mix all the beans and the B.B.Q. sauce, and veggies. Pour the bean mixture in the bacon lined Dutch oven. Lay the bacon over the top of the beans in the reverse direction as you put them in. Made a neat pinwheel. Place lid on oven with 18 to 20 charcoals in top, and only 8 to 10 under the oven. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes,and serve.
Now that is awesome! You can't go wrong with bacon any day of the week. That looks like something I might be trying our next camping trip. Does the bacon actually get crispy with all that juice or just browned? (like I care...it's BACON) lol. Thanks for posting Ron, I saved this one.

It was about ½ and ½. The top ones were crisp. You may try just covering the oven with charcoal the last 5 or 10 minutes and get a little most crisp.
Deletethe instructions say to drain "some bean juice" off so the bacon get crispy,,
DeleteAdd more brown sugar and it will thicken itself when cooking.
DeleteI was just reading about dutch oven recipes....towards the end of cooking time you are to take the coals from the bottom and place them on top as well. FYI If you have about 28 coals top and bottom thats about 350 degrees
DeleteI won't be able to try this soon enough! (I'll probably have to have 2 packages of bacon, one to munch on while I'm making it, the other for the recipe.)
ReplyDeleteThat is way too much bacon....beans floating in grease. No Thank You.. makes my stomach upset just thinking about it
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeletePansies!
DeleteToo much bacon...as if there is such a thing. Paper towels can easily soak up the grease that will ultimately float to the top.
Then why comment at all.....if the recipe is not for you, move on.........
DeleteThe deli bacon we buy doesn't cook out much grease. Use high quality bacon and you should be fine.
Deleteuse turkey bacon
DeleteI'm thinking you could partially cook the bacon, until the fat is rendered but it's still pliable, before lining the pan. It'll get crispier, there will be less grease, and you still get the 'oooh, ahh' presentation. - Angie
ReplyDeleteI agree ,partially cook bacon . I like the idea tho I will try my own version.tha.ks
ReplyDeleteHmm do you think I can do this if I have the new type of dutch oven?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean "new" type of DO?
Deletecrispy bacon is a sin anyways. and what wrong with beans swimming in grease? stir before dishing up.
ReplyDeleteIt has all three food groups...Beans, Bacon and Bacon Grease! - Cookie from Atlantis
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could bake a meatloaf in there like that, too. mmmmm
ReplyDeleteI have been cooking with my grandmother's 100 year old dutch oven on my sailboat for many years now. Absolutely the best way to make dinner for two or three people or for two or three days. I have come up with a recipe for a tarragon chicken with veggies that is so good:
DeleteIn olive oil saute several cloves of garlic, rosemary, and salt /pepper to taste.
add three or four thighs to fill the bottom of the pot. Brown the skin both sides.
cut up carrots, potatoes, mushrooms (crimini and shitake are great) to bite size and add by layers to the chicken, fill the pot to the rim.
I like fresh tarragon and add it liberally, pulling the leaves from the stems, although dried tarragon can also be used.
cover the pot for about 20 minutes or so on fairly high heat, then pull the chicken up to the top to steam rather than fry on the bottom.
a generous shake of balsamic or apple cider vinegar adds the flavor.
Cook until the veggies are soft enough to chew easily, or however you like them, The chicken should be done by then
I LUV THIS THANK YOU MUCH I SAIL ASWELL
DeleteSure. Why not. Try it in a 8" or 10"
DeleteI cook Meatloaf i roll Meatloaf into a log about 6" in round an about 12" / foot long. An then i rap it with bacon an over lap the bacon just a little rap with .aluminum foil. Me i just bake mine . in the oven . I make mine a Bacon Cheeseburger.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds good!!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it can be done in a regular oven and how to do it without making a huge difference?
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea, I have done the meat loaf in this style/fashion, never thought of the Dutch Oven & Baked Beans!
ReplyDeleteCould you do this without the pinto beans or kidney beans.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is impossible to remove an ingredient.
DeleteOf coarse you can remove or swap ingredients. Chefs are supposed to take a recipe and "make it their own"! But first you need to make the recipe as is and then experiment with it before serving to others.
DeleteLooks yummy, but I think I might cook bacon a little first before putting it in dutch oven...
ReplyDeleteIf you blanch the bacon first. You may need to adjust the cooking time. Blanched bacon cooks much faster then raw bacon.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the cooking directions if in the oven?
ReplyDeleteWould be about the same but switch to broiler for the last few minutes
DeleteI wonder if any muslims will try this???
ReplyDeleteMade it in the oven today, turned out great.
ReplyDeleteYuk!!! I like beans and I like bacon but this looks like Grease Heaven.
ReplyDeletegrease is good for u
DeleteI was cooking for a large group. You can do it in a smaller oven and cut recipe in ½ or ¼.
ReplyDeleteAny Dutch oven recipe can be cooked in the home oven. A heat sours is a neat sours. Good luck and good cookin"
