Grandma Virginias Buckaroo Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp; drain. Set aside.
• Brown ground beef in same skillet on medium heat; drain. Add onion; cook until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add bacon and remaining ingredients; mix well. Spoon into 2-quart casserole dish; cover.
• Bake 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Rough chop the garlic, carrot, serrano and onion into small pieces. Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped vegetables and 1 teaspoon cumin to the pot and cook until the onion starts to brown.
• Strain the beans and add them to the pot. Pour in enough water to just cover the beans. Cover and bring them to a boil. Stir, then cover again and lower to a simmer. Simmer the beans until they start to burst, around 1 hour.
• Uncover the pot and add the orange, squeezing the juice into the pot and then dropping the halves in. Stir in the remaining teaspoon cumin and the salt. Continue to simmer to allow the beans to thicken, about 45 minutes more. Add more cumin and salt to taste.
• Serve as a side dish, over rice, or on their own on a taco.

Steps:

• Heat a smoker for cooking at 225 degrees F.
• Add pork and beans, black beans, kidney beans and butter beans to a foil pan and set aside.
• Brown the beef in a large skillet, then drain the grease and add the beef to the beans. Cook the bacon in the same skillet, then add the bacon to the beans. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, onion, jalapeños, salt and pepper to the beans.
• Place the foil pan in the smoker and let smoke until there is a nice bark covering the top of the beans, 4 to 5 hours.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any onion bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add green beans to the skillet with the sauce; toss to coat well. Chop cooked bacon and stir into the beans. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Add washed beans to water in large heavy pot; bring to boil.
• Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and cover.
• Let stand an hour.
• Slice onion thick and garlic thin; add them along with the bay leaf and salt pork and bring to a rapid boil.
• Reduce heat to a simmer; cover tightly and cook until beans are tender.
• Add tomatoes, dry mustard, green pepper, chili powder, brown sugar and oregano.
• Cover and simmer for about 2 hours to get full rich flavor.
• Beans should cook until there is just enough liquid left to resemble thick gravy.
• You may have to remove cover at the last hour of cooking to thicken beans.

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
• Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for a minute or two, then add the green beans. Cook until the green beans are bright green, an additional minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and lightly cover, allowing the some of the steam to escape. Cook until the liquid is evaporated and the beans are starting to soften, but still have a bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the beans to a serving vessel. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the beans, along with the fried onions.

Steps:

• Drain beans and add fresh water to 2 inches above beans. Add meat, onion, garlic, and bay leaf. Heat to boiling and cover tightly. Cook over low heat for 1 1/2 hours or until beans are almost tender. Add all remaining ingredients, except salt, and more water if necessary. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring once or twice. Taste and add salt, if necessary. There should be enough liquid left on the beans to resemble a medium-thick gravy. If desired, the beans may be baked, covered, at 325° after the first step is completed. Note: Long, slow cooking helps to give a rich, full flavor. May be made ahead and refrigerated, then reheated, even on a barbecue grill.
