I know there a cooking thread somewhere amongst the thousands of thread - but i dont have the pateince to look through it all :)


What i want to know, does anyone know how to many a poor mans BBQ beans? I dont want to add anything to the beans already cooking, i just want to know how to make them flavored when thier sitting in my bowl. :)

I heard and used ketchup in my beans, dont taste like BBQ but aint too bad. Anything short of addind actual sauce or any tried ( and true) metthods would be appreciated :thumb:
 
Sorry Alf but here in the Uk we eat Heinz beans (in tins) and they all come in exotic varieties including BBQ , how are your beans produced/served ???;)
 
well living in the southwest we can either buy beans in a can (refered to as white man beans :D) or we simple make our own, which is the more common way. With this said i dont want ruin a good pot-o-beans with ketchup :)

never heard of earlines :D
but yes we use heinz- tomatoe sauce is tomatoe sauce, ketchup is ketchup
and if i remeber correctly Heinz is a US based food company... so what you doing with our sauce?
 
Good links Andy, cept im not looking for a recipe :)
just looking to add something to the beans that are already cooked
 
No problem - just add the extra ingredients to the cooked beans and heat up :thumb:
 
Well that sounds like a plan, but remeber these are poor man beans- i dont have the extra ingredeints on hand :p
you wouldnt happen to know any sinlge ingredient that would work?
 
Ok dont forget i am a UK cooking newbie...


Onions
Bacon
Worcester sauce.. in your own %`s

nice BBQ!
 
Ok...so poor mans beans are being prepared ...yes
How many people are waiting to eat ??
How much cash do they have ??
Where is the next (convenience) store ??
 
The beans sound good Alf :thumb:

If you are looking for a smokey flavour, then what you might be looking for is Hickory Smoke Powder, which you can add to your beans, or anything else that you'd like to give a BBQ flavour to. HERE and HERE
Perhaps this won't be helpful for this occasion, but maybe you can get some for next time :D
 
I used to add mixed herbs to my Scrambled egg that was nice. Dont know how much of a difference it would make to beans?
 
Worchester sauce?
i personally never had it, perhaps ill give it a try :)

so far im using a mix of Ketchup, chilie powder, bit of onion, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. It aint pretty (and dont taste like BBQ :D) but its not too bad.
Also its more or less a single serving- not for many people. Not everyone wants BBQ bean :)
 
Pm me your address Alf and i will send you a bottle of worcester sauce :D
 
Add a dash of nitro-glycerine - that'll give 'em a boost :thumb:

You Americans are weird, just buy a tin of Heinz BBQ beanz - problem solved :)

Or, get a small spoonful of beans, shake whatever ya got over that spoonful, munch away and see if it works.

But yep, like ME_2001 said - Lea & Perrins sounds like a plan (Worcester Sauce).

Just by way of mentioning, did you know true veggies can't eat Worcester Sauce - it has anchovies in it :eek:
 
lea and perrins all the way, even better if you have cheese and beans on toast

worchester is common grounds here, looks like ill have to check it out. What else can you use it for?
 
Scuse I mate, it's spelt 'Worcester'. Let's get it right :D

Use it much like you would tomato ketchup but it's two most common uses are with steak and with tomato juice, especially with a Bloody Mary.

Also nice with baked beans and a squirt or two in casseroles and gravy is favoured by some.
