Texasbeans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until onion begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bacon, bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until bacon is browned, 7 to 10 minutes more.
• Stir beer, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, and molasses together in a large bowl; add pinto beans and bacon mixture. Season with garlic salt and black pepper. Pour beans mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat; line a plate with a paper towel. Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the lined plate to drain.
• Discard most of the bacon fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot. Return to medium heat, add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, coffee, ketchup, mustard, chile paste and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then add the beans and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until the sauce has thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with the Cheddar, green onions and reserved bacon. Serve with crackers or chips alongside.

Steps:
