SPICY BAKED BEANS
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the bacon in a large ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 7 minutes, then set aside to drain on a paper towel. Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the beans, molasses, tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, 1/4 cup water and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine well. Let the mixture simmer for a minute or so. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the beans are very tender and dark and the sauce is thick, 1 1 /2 to 2 hours.
- Transfer to a serving dish and top with Candied Jalapenos and bits of bacon.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Thinly slice the jalapenos and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Combine the brown sugar, granulated garlic, mustard, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl. Brush the slices of jalapeno with the olive oil. Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the top. Bake until the jalapenos are crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEDDAR
To make a halved sweet potato into a more substantial side, load it with black beans and sharp Cheddar, then send it back into the oven until the cheese melts and sizzles. Pair it with something a bit lighter, like fish tacos or a green salad, or build it into its own meal by adding sliced avocado, torn cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or even a fried egg.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt.
- Place cut side down on prepared sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Take sweet potatoes out of the oven, turn them over and let cool slightly. Use a fork to rough up the flesh and slightly flatten the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This recipe calls for black beans, but you can use any type of bean you like. Pinto beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas are all good options.
- Cook the beans thoroughly. Beans should be cooked until they are soft and tender. If you are using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them before using.
- Use a flavorful spice blend. The spice blend in this recipe is made with cumin, chili powder, and paprika. You can adjust the amount of each spice to taste. If you like things spicy, add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder flavor, add more cumin and paprika.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will become dry and tough.
- Top with your favorite toppings. This recipe suggests serving the spicy beans on top of baked sweet potatoes. You can also serve them over rice, quinoa, or salad. Top with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Spicy beans on baked sweet potatoes is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover beans. The combination of spicy beans and sweet potatoes is a flavorful and satisfying meal that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
