Bandito Baked Beans

"Hubs requested baked beans with our BBQ rib dinner and I wanted to try someting new. He was not enthused about this recipe at all. I admit I was skeptical myself but I love to experiment and I've oft..." See moreen been pleasantly surprised when I do. I thought the picante sauce (I used salsa, and a different brand) weird, and even more so combined with spicy brown mustard. In my mind it was an incompatible combo. But it worked. Ohhh, did it work! I gave Hubs a spoonful to taste and the look on his face told me right away he was pleased. "These are pretty d*mn good!" he said. Oh my, these are unlike any baked beans I've ever had. Uniquely delicious. Instead of vegetable oil I sauteed some sliced bacon, then cooked the onion with it and the drippings.

"Most excellent. Use the whole small jar of Picante Sauce, medium. And 1 clove garlic. Best beans I've had. I just dumped the black beans in...." See more"

"It's tough to decide how to rate a recipe when there are obvious problems with measurements, etc. This is one of those recipes. I liked the idea of adding the picante sauce but the recipe calls for ju..." See morest two 15 oz. cans of beans which is clearly not enough to make 6 servings. I used a 28 oz. can of pork and beans, a 15 oz. can of black beans and added in a 15 oz. can of pinto beans. I didn't have any spicy brown mustard on hand so just used yellow mustard and added 1 tsp. of chili powder to spice it up. An entire onion would be far too much so just eyeball it. I used about half. I used the medium Pace picante sauce and reduced it to 3/4 cup. It gave it just a touch of heat, not too much. With these changes these were so good! Great summer BBQ dish.
