auNti noNi's bean reCipe!

alright .. didnt bloW up moM.'s kiTchen.. nor did the baKersfield fire dept have to save us.. (but tHanks eVil geNe for warning them! .heh! ) .. successfully i created one of my faVorite "compfort" foods last nite with moM.'s help on reX.'s ranTs last nite..

aNd! .. they turned out great..! .. a litTle too many onions for me though! heh! ..

said i woud sHare the reCipe with you .. so here it is..

aunTi noNi's beans:

- melt 2 T butter at low to medium heat

- chop 1/2 onion in pieces (do not dice)

- add onion and some garlic, stir until soft

- add 1 can refried beans

- add 1 can pork n beans

- gRate 1/2 cup cHeese either cheddar or jack or a little of both

- add cHeese and 2 sPrinkles of parmesan cHeese

- 1 shake of worchester sauce

- 1/4 to 1/2 bRown sugar or 1 t of bRo2wn sWeet and low

- 1 to 1 1/2 t of bbq sauce (optional)

- sTir well and keep sTirring occasionally or beans will get too runny

- let beans set 10 mins with no heat before serving

hint: the longer they cook the more flavor .. but don't cook longer tHen 45 min.

looks like moM. 'really eNjoyed the ranTs and sHaring some of her reCipes from her cookbook sHe's working on.. so i tHink we will have her back maYbe moNthly..! .. yah! ..
