  1. Texas Cattle Drive Baked Beans

     

    Violet Peacock & Cheyenne Ranger SASS L #48747

     

    This is a recipe that is great tasting the first day and even better the next.  A bowl of beans along some homemade cornbread will satisfy the heartiest appetite.

     

    The portions listed are for a large oval roasting pot.  Adjust as necessary.

     

    Ingredients

    4 cans commercial baked beans, we like Bush Baked Beans

    2 cans diced or crushed tomatoes

    1 ½ cups dark brown sugar

    2 cups molasses

    1 can tomato paste

    1-2 pounds of bacon

    1 large yellow onion, 10-15 or Vidalia are what we look for

    1 package shredded carrots, can use carrot chips or whole carrots chopped

    1 large garlic bulb

    1-2 jalapeno peppers

    1-2 green peppers, optional

    3 Tbsp Cumin

    3 Tbsp Paprika

    Salt

    Water as needed

     

    Directions

    Put the oval roasting pot over medium heat

    Cut the bacon into 1 inch stripes

    Cook bacon till brown, drain and save 

    Save some of the grease, enough to fry the onions plus other vegetables.

    Dice the onion green peppers and garlic, if using whole carrots chop these

    De-seed, remove the inner membrane and chop the jalapeno peppers.  Do not use your fingernails to remove the membrane or the seeds—the juice will find its way into your eyes

    Add all to the hot grease.  Cook till translucent (for a slightly different taste you can add everything but the onions and bacon when the tomatoes go in without cooking them first)

    Again drain off the grease, save the vegetables

    Now return the vegetates and bacon to the pot over medium-high heat

    Add the baked beans

    Add the crushed/diced tomatoes

    Add the tomato paste.

    Add dark brown sugar

    Add molasses

    Add half the Cumin and Paprika and check for taste.  Add entire amount if you desire

    Salt to taste

    Add enough water to bring level to within 2 inches of top of roaster

     

    Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer

    Stir occasionally and for first 3 hours keep adding water as needed

    Final 2-3 hours allow beans to thicken, don’t add water but do keep stirring

     

    Allow to sit until it’s cool enough not to blister you tongue and mouth.

    Then grab a slice or two (or ten) of corn bread and a bowl of beans and enjoy.

     

    Might want to stay down wind of the herd for a spell.

  2. TRR will have its monthly match Feb 4-5.

     

    Six stages each day and the nicest people you would ever want to meet on a Honda (gotta be old to make sense of this one)

    Weather is going to be beautiful and you can't get much better than shooting 'cowboy' in the early Spring in The Republic

  3. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm trying to say :)

     

    Since I'm old with a questionable back I found that the weight of the cartridges on the gun belt will be noticeable by the end of the match.

     

    I'm the guy that will also stage my pistols in my gun cart between stages--pretty much anything that will removed weight from the old back

     

    Again just my 2¢
