Jennie and Paul!Jennie and Paul got married on the islands last fall, but had a wonderful celebration of their nuptials a few weeks ago at the Salt Lick BBQ here in Austin. Friends from across the globe were in attendance and it was a blast. The bus driver had great stories about Stevie Nicks and Rufus Wainright, which I can repeat here. Anyway, it was a ton of fun with many, many great people. Congrats guys!
Jennie asked me to prepare some veggie friendly BBQ for the vegetarians, so I prepare my famous seitan BBQ style and made my Mam-ma's baked beans. Angie asked for the recipe, so I thought I would post here.

Recipe: Mildred's Baked Beans
I changed this recipe slightly, but all for the better.
3/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons mustard (I used a spicy brown.)
2 small onion, finely chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
4, 16-oz cans of pinto beans (drained and rinsed)*
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
4, 16-oz cans of pinto beans (drained and rinsed)*
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the first seven ingredients in a big yellow bowl and stir to combine. Fold in the beans and then transfer to a large casserole. Bake until they sauce is thickened, about an hour. Cover and let stand for about 15 minutes. These are wonderful hot, room temperature or cold from the fridge.
It you 'eat the meat,' feel free to top with bacon. You don't really need to, but you can. You can also top the beans with facon, but cook it separately and then add to the top of your casserole before serving.

Mangez!
*7.20.09, The last time I made these I used Bush's mix of Great Northern and Pinto beans, which made for a great combination of textures in the dish. If you can't find the cans of mixed beans, you could always do two cans of each.
