Has anyone made this and is it good?

From Paula Deen's show: Baked beans with pineapple **It's NOT Paula Deen's recipe, so I won't have to deal with that question. It's one that was submitted to her and she tried on her show.

I've been invited to a cookout to meet the folks I'll be traveling with to Scotland and Ireland. Told lady I'd bring baked beans, and I thought of this recipe.

I feel sure it has been mentioned by someone, here before.

And could I substitute maple syrup for the molasses?

Ingredients

4 (16-ounce) cans baked beans

1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup molasses

1 cup BBQ sauce

2 tablespoon yellow or brown mustard

5 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

1 (6-ounce) can french-fried onions, crushed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In large bowl, mix together beans, pineapple, molasses, BBQ sauce, mustard, bacon, and a third of the onions. Add some salt and pepper, to taste. Pour beans in 9 by 13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle remaining crushed onions and bacon on top. Cook in oven for 1 hour or until beans brown and bubble. Serve warm

I know I need to half the recipe as there's only 17 of us going.

It sounds good Glenda, I am no help with substituting the molasses. I would think though a 9 x 13 dish would be about right for 17 people. Just my thought as I know my family is only about 12 and we use up that size of baked beans when we get together.

Glenda, if you can get it, molasses would be better, I think; it's not as sweet as syrup. I agree with Sue - I think you will need the whole recipe for 17 people. I try to plan on at least half a cup per person

Ball Canning Taco Sauce
Q

Taco sauce is similar to a salsa but has less texture of solids in it. Its basically made the same way as salsa with the same ingredients, but its usually pureed and is a bit watery compared to a salsa. The recipe you have is quite low in added acid, even though the tomato paste may contain any acid. Ground Cumin is also used in taco sauces. Judging by the amount of chili and cayenne, yours may be a mild to medium heat, which is easy to increase or decrease by using more or less cayenne. For chili powder, you can change to ancho pepper powder too, or a mix of several other low heat chilies.

Has ANYONE had a good experience with concrete countertops?
Q
Comments (6)
My husband is a concrete/hardscape contractor and we built a bbq with a concrete counter about 6 years ago. I love the look of it and it hasn't stained. We use a wax protector from Cheng Studios about once a year. It does have a few hairline cracks but I knew that was to be expected. As my husband always says, "concrete will crack, you just have to make sure you control where it will crack". that's why side walks have cuts every few feet...to control where the crack will go. When we did our counter top, he asked if I wanted a cut or did I just want chance it. We chanced it and it cracked where he would have cut it but you barely see it. I don't mind the imperfections because it's outside. If I had a more modern house, I would do them in my kitchen but I don't so the look wouldn't work for me. I get compliments all the time and people always ask what kind of stone it is. They're always surprised when I tell them it's concrete.

Has anyone made chocolate covered bacon?

I've made this and it's worth it! So good! MILLION DOLLAR BACON Author: Cyd Converse Recipe type: Breakfast Serves: 12 Ingredients 1lb thick cut bacon 6 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Begin by preheating your oven to 350° and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. (You can sub aluminum foil if you don’t have any parchment paper lying around.) Instructions Sprinkle the bacon with about half of the brown sugar. Sprinkle on the red pepper flakes, cayenne and cracked black pepper. Sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar on the top and then give it a good pat all over. Think of it as a rub that’s going to coat your bacon in candy-like goodness. You don’t really have to worry about coating the reverse side because as the bacon cooks, the sugary coating will run under it and coat the other side of the bacon, too. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes, until it reaches your desired crispiness. Done and done!

I think the syrup would be too sweet. I make a similar dish and it's pretty darn good. Mine calls for catsup rather than BQ sauce.

Read a review at the Recipezaar and couple said it was too sweet and to cut down on the molasses or leave it out completely. I might just leave it out.

I've had baked beans with pineapple and they were really, really good--but I don't know what else they had in it. If you have a choice, I'd go with your tried and true slaw. You know that's good!!

I think I'd leave out the molasses and use Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce in the beans.

Usually love your recipes, Glenda. I've made many. Most are as good to look at as they are to eat....
