Can't Do It.

I cannot make a decent baked bean from scratch to save my life. I opened a bottle of beans that I had made. Not good. Too strong. I combined them with my favorite baked bean recipe. Oh and threw in some T-Dawgs sauce for good luck. Luck was mine as they did get eaten. Maybe that should be my new baked bean recipe from scratch, beans and
T-Dawgs sauce.

Baked Beans

2 pounds canned baked beans (Campbell's)
1 t. prepared mustard
One small onion, chopped
Sprinkle salt and pepper
1 T. brown sugar (I add more)
1/2 c. ketchup
4-5 strips bacon

Combine all ingredients except bacon. Pour into casserole dish. Place bacon on top. Bake 350 for 1 1/2 hours.

OJ

Have you ever left orange juice concentrate in the fridge to thaw and forgot about it? Yeah, me neither. But if I did and it was dark and fermented, it would still taste good in this recipe.


Red Slush

3 packages unsweetened cherry Kool-Aid. I use black cherry.
3 cups sugar
12 oz can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

Add all ingredients to a 5 quart container. Add 4 quarts of water, leaving an a couple of inches of head space at the top. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Freeze for 24 hours in a deep freezer, longer in a frost free freezer. Thaw for about 4 hours before serving or microwave for 10 minutes. Chop the slush completely before serving.
