Big John's Beans 'N Fixins

By TNTPayne

Spice up canned or homemade beans with Big John's Fixins, a mix of sloppy joe sauce, bacon bits, sugar, molasses, onion, mustard powder, vinegar, and pepper.

Ingredients

• FIXINS:
• 1 (16-ounce) can Campbell's Pork & Beans
• 1/2 cup Manwich brand sloppy-joe sauce (Heinz works well too)
• 1 1/2 tablespoon Hormel real bacon bits
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon molasses
• 1 teaspoon onion, minced and dried
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1/3 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the ingredients for the Fixins in a small jar, cover, and refrigerate at least a 1/2 hour. (This allows the flavors to "meld").

At "bean" time, empty the can of beans into a small saucepan, and stir in the pre-made Fixins. Over low-medium heat, bring the Beans and Fixins to a simmer, stirring occasionally. When heated through---serve!
