AND I AM NOT MOMMA QUE. SHE WAS MY MOM.
I learned to make these at her elbow. She was not a great cook, but our family loves these...and so it seems did everyone at Brandi's BBQ. I made them this morning to take to MIL's for lunch and tried to pay attention to what I did. So here goes.
3 cans VanDeCamps Pork and Beans (short fat ones 31 ozs)
Minced onion
Salt and pepper to taste
Mustard
Ketchup
Splenda Brown Sugar Mix
Bacon
Drain the juice from 2 cans of beans into a large bowl.
Drain the 3rd one down the drain.
Sprinkle with minced onion. I usually cover the top of the juice until it looks pretty white.
I think I used about a quarter cup of mustard and at least half a cup of ketchup.
Mom was known to use dry mustard if she did not have mustard and tomato paste and sause if we did not have ketchup.
Stir. Taste. Stir Taste.
Mix in brown sugar and stir, taste.
Splenda Brown sugar does not turn as dark as regular brown sugar, my Mom was known to use Molasses to get it dark. (How did I live through it???) I gave up on dark, as long as they taste OK.
Stir taste stir taste.
Add whatever is missing or if it tastes ok put all the beans in.
Remember that salt cooks out of foods, so if they are a little salty before they are cooked that is probably good.
Stir taste Stir taste.
Put in casserole dish.
Cut bacon into pieces and lay on top.
I bake in a 400 degree oven until hot and bubbly. Then I turn the oven to broil and crispy the bacon.
There it is. Years of trial and error, and a lot of STIR, TASTE, STIR, TASTE.
Good luck Set aside until they cool some. They get thick when they cool.
EDITED TO ADD THE RECIPE!!
