THE BEST BAKED RICE AND BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour white rice into a casserole dish and season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and oregano. Pour in olive oil and stir until rice is thoroughly coated with oil. Add salsa, chicken broth, and kidney beans; stir until evenly combined. Cover very tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

THE BEST BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the paprika and toast, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes.
• Add the beans and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. (If the beans are still slightly firm, continue cooking, stirring every 45 minutes and adding more water if necessary to just cover.)
• Once the beans are tender, uncover and increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until the beans are thick and browned, about 1 more hour. (Again, if the beans need more time, continue cooking, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.) Remove from the oven and thin with water if necessary.

• • 2 medium or 1 large onion, chopped (yellow or sweet onion, not vidalia).
• • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter (for sauteing onions).
• • 3/4 cup ketchup.
• • 1/2 cup molasses.
• • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard.
• • 1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar (use less for less sweetness).
• • 6 to 8 slices uncooked bacon, each cut in half or thirds.
• Preheat oven to 325* F. degrees f. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Saute onions over medium to medium-high heat in butter until onions are tender and translucent.
• Mix beans, sauteed onions, ketchup, mustard, molasses and brown sugar until blended well. Pour in prepared baking dish. Top with uncooked bacon in single layer (see photo above). Bake on middle rack of oven uncovered for 2-3 hours. Beans are ready when the top is dark and caramelized. Serve warm. Enjoy!
• TIP - Make in Slow Cooker.
• These can also be thrown together and cooked in the slow cooker set on low for 6 to 8 hours as well. It won't get that nice caramelize top, but it will still be delicious if you're in a pinch for time. Be sure to saute the onions first.
