This is a tasty and easy baked bean recipe!! Crazy beans will fill the bill if you’re looking to make a hearty side dish! With how flavorful they are you’d never know how easy these beans are to make!
I’m not sure where they got their name. But I know people go crazy for these beans, so maybe that’s it! This baked bean recipe makes such a great dish to pass if you’re going to a pot luck or family get-together. I’ve always come home with an empty dish!!
Ingredients for the Baked Bean Recipe
I usually have the ingredients for these crazy beans on hand. So I’ll make them as a last minute compliment to chicken, ribs, steak, or just about any other meat I’m serving.
Bacon, hamburger, and onion add the heartiness to these Crazy Beans. Fry them up, and add them in!!
You can either use a large can of Bush beans, or two medium-size cans. Butter beans, brown sugar, ketchup, onion, and salt & pepper is all there’s to it!
Making the Baked Bean Recipe
This is such an easy recipe to make!!
Mix ’em Up!
I usually mix together the beans, brown sugar, and ketchup first in a large casserole. Then, mix in the cooked meats and onion. Stir well. Cover, and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
In a pinch for time, I’ve cooked these beans on the stove until they were hot and bubbly. But they’re oh-so-much better baked up!!
Serving Ideas
Recently, I made Crazy Beans to round out a meal of ribs. I served them along with Au Gratin potatoes. You can get the recipe for the Au Gratins by clicking here. Sooo yummy all together!! No room for dessert with this meal, lol!!
Another family favorite is to serve Crazy Beans with grilled chicken or pork chops. Just add your favorite potato and you’ll be a hit!
You can even dress up even an easy meal of hot dogs or grilled cheese with these Crazy Beans!!
Go crazy, lol!!!
