Howdy, Rick Sutherland here to tell you about a honey baked bean recipe that I created in my kitchen. Now it took a bit of trying and retrying to get the flavor and texture just right, but I think I"ve got it! The following ingredients are key: Of course, it is rather obvious that one can"t have honey baked beans without the honey. I like the brand that comes in the little huggy bear bottle with the yellow top. I found that it is thicker and sometimes sweeter than other brands. Also you will need onions; preferebly the red ones because sweetness is key in this recipe. Also a touch of red pepper and garlic will be necessary to complete÷ this concoction. Now for the meat; I used both smoked sausage and ground beef in this recipe; however, if you don"t want to catch the "ITIS" (a condition of tiredness or sleepiness that occurs after eating fatty, greasy or meaty foods). Then you may want to only use ground beef or sausage instead of both. Lastly but not leastly you will need some beans you may have a particular brand that you enjoy, and I would suggest that you use that particular brand; I use Bush"s, but everyone isn"t me, so you may want to use something else.
