Mrs. Paulus’ Bean Bake

Season 4, Blog #7

There are 4 different kinds of beans in this bean bake. There are lima beans, pinto beans, white beans, and pork and beans. The texture was soft with a good chew. The bacon gave it a smoky flavor. The sauce was not too sweet, and it had a little acidity from the vinegar and ketchup.

The bean bake packs a lot of flavor. It would be a great side dish with any type of BBQ – ribs, chicken or beef. My suggestion, to make it even better, would be if it had more smoky flavor from a smoker. If you don’t own a smoker, you could add Liquid Smoke to the bean bake recipe. I enjoyed this BBQ success!
