Ranch Beans
|
Serves 3 to 5
|
Start with dry beans or canned beans, either way the flavor can't be beat!
I ran out of Ranch-Style beans one day and didn't want to run to the store, so I made my own. Now homemade is my preference.
If you use ranch beans often or just want to make up a mess of them, cook a pound of beans and triple the seasoning ingredients. Once cooled, freeze in 2-cup batches to equal one can each. To add more flavor dice two slices of thick-cut bacon per batch of beans, fry in the sauce pan and pat out the extra bacon grease with a paper towel. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer.
