Sweet and Sour Baked Beans - With a Kick image

When the weather turns cold, there is nothing nicer then a bowl of something hot to warm your soul. Packed with protein, loaded with flavour, and very economical. May be served as a side dish, or by itself with a hunk of fresh bread. Don't want to waste that sauce. Created for the 2010 Dining on a Dollar Contest. Update: Nov 10/10 - Based on the reviews made during the contest, I have reduced the amount of vinegar by half in the ingredient list. It certainly would be easier to add extra vinegar, then try to reduce it. If there's another 'Vinegar Freak' out there, the original amount was 3 tbsp. :) Thanks to the chefs that made and reviewed the recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup dried onion, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 jalapeno pepper, diced (remove seeds for less heat)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • Rinse the kidney beans, and set aside to drain.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients in a saucepan, and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Add beans and pour into an oven proof baking dish. I used a 1 quart, ovenproof glass bowl (eg: Anchor Hocking or Pyrex).
  • Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes.

These beans were a hit at my last potluck! I made a double batch and they were all gone by the end of the night. Everyone raved about the sweet and sour flavor, and the kick from the cayenne pepper was the perfect touch.
