Current treat (I really like beans, OK?)
- Start with 28 oz. of baked kidney beans, 28 oz. of baked pinto beans with onions, and 21 oz. of black fiesta grillin’ beans in a crock pot
- 10 oz. of diced, sautéed onions
- One pound of sautéed sweet corn.
- About half of a 12 fl. oz. beer of your choice (drink the rest, duh)
- 8 oz. of pineapple tidbits in juice
- A healthy dollop of maple syrup
- A heaping tablespoon of brown sugar
- Lots of hot red pepper flakes (about twice as many as you think is appropriate)
- 7-10 big shakes of Chipotle Tabasco sauce
- Enough chipotle chile powder to make the top layer dry
- Mix together and set the crock pot on high
- Leave the cover off and stir often
- Cook for 4-6 hours to blend the flavors and thicken to taste
- Optional: Leave covered on “warm” for a few more hours to blend the flavors even more
It’s not nearly as spicy as you’d think. If you taste it while it cooks, it’ll be very spicy, but the spice eventually migrates into the beans and makes it milder. It’s also not as sweet as you’d think. The bitterness of the beer balances the maple syrup, brown sugar, and pineapple sweetness.
You’re left with a low-fat, high-fiber, hearty, delicious, and easily microwaveable meal or side-dish.
BONUS
A few hours later: Weaponized butt.
