HEALTHY/SPICY BARBECUE BAKED BEANS AND SPINACH



Healthy/Spicy Barbecue Baked Beans and Spinach image

I originally got this recipe from Eating Well magazine. It was a baked beans and sausage dish. We were making bbq chicken on the grill, so I figured why not try it without the sausage. My bf said it was way better than the original recipe, so I thought I should post it. Feel free to experiment with the beans. I have made it with white kidneys beans and it is still yummy. If you are watching your weight this is a great, easy to prepare side dish for the summer months! Note: Make sure to rinse the beans it will cut down the sodium in this dish, so don't be afraid of the nutrition facts. I don't think recipezaar takes into account rinsing the beans when it figures the nutrition information.

BBQ BAKED BEANS



BBQ Baked Beans image

BBQ baked beans are a summer staple. This shortcut version relies on ordinary canned baked beans, which we dress up with fresh peppers, onions, cider vinegar and barbecue sauce. The sweet and tangy side dish is perfect for a summer barbecue, picnic, potluck or weeknight dinner. The beans taste even better the next day, so they can be prepared ahead of time and reheated or served at room temperature.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices bacon (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced

Two 28-ounce cans baked beans
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons yellow mustard powder

BARBECUE BAKED BEANS



Barbecue Baked Beans image

I've adapted this recipe from "The Barbecue Bible" by Steven Raichlin. If you like your barbecue beans on the sweet side, then these are the beans for you. I know that the list of ingredients is long, but most of them are probably already in your pantry. Don't be tempted to leave out the fresh garlic or fresh gingerroot--it makes a difference. This is mandatory with our ribs--all you need is a potato salad and coleslaw and you're all set.

SPICY BAKED BEANS



Spicy Baked Beans image

Tangy and sweet old-fashioned baked beans with a little jalapeno. They're easy to make and great at a BBQ, hamburger night, a picnic, etc. My husband's favorite semi-homemade recipe. Says the sweetness and fire create a super depth of flavor. It's not strong enough to overwhelm the sweet home-style of baked beans.

½ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
