I use Bush's as a starter too George. Either original or brown sugar and one onion can, or 3 if there's a crowd.

Then I add to taste:
Cooked hamburger (usually a pound)
Cooked bacon
Ketchup and mustard
Brown sugar if I didn't use the canned one

Throw it all in a crock pot on low all day and adjust more ingredients tasting during the day if needed

There's also a bean salad they call "Cowboy Caviar." I haven't made this but it sounds pretty good:

• Stick of butter
• 2 bricks of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup pepperjack cheese
• 2lbs frozen corn.

Let everything but the corn melt in a crock pot then add the corn and let it heat through.

I remember as a kid the best baked beans I have ever tasted - my Grandmothers. A year or so back I stumbled across this recipe. I guarantee if you guys make them, it will blow your mind,

Ingredients
8 slices bacon, halved
1 medium onion, cut into small dice
1/2 medium green pepper, cut into small dice
3 large cans (28 ounces each) pork and beans
3/4 c. barbecue sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. distilled or cider vinegar
2 tsp. dry mustard or 2 tablespoons Dijon

--------------------------------------------------------


Directions
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.

Fry bacon in large, deep sauté pan skillet until bacon has partially cooked and released about 1/4 cup drippings. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels.

Add onions and peppers to drippings in pan and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add beans and remaining ingredients bring to a simmer. (If skillet is not large enough, add beans and heat to a simmer then transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining ingredients).

Pour flavored beans into a greased 13-by 9-inch (or similar size) ovenproof pan. Top with bacon, then bake until beans are bubbly and sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.

Boy Howdy!!! Bean Heaven

I was hoping you would link this! Is this your famous mushroom recipe? I remember a thread last year where it was brought up, and for some reason the mushroom recipe crossed my mind and I wanted to revisit it.

Very creamy

Yes, this is real good for a party, kind of like doing little meatballs. Depending on how many people you intend to feed, each standard package of mushrooms will feed 2 to 3 people. I like Wishbone zesty italian as the dressing. Don't use creamy italian, use an oil base italian. The whole fresh mushrooms soak up a lot of the wetness and will squish when you bite them. If you don't like that, use sliced mushrooms. Either way, they cook down a bit while they crock, so when you first fill the crock pot, you'll lose about 1/3rd of your volume once they cook down.

If you like crock pot meat balls, try this:
Pack of 24 frozen meatballs (not italian, regular style). 1/3rd jar of basic grape jelly. 1 cup Gates BBQ sauce or your favorite. Tip: Don't use Bryant's original, not a good match. I like Gates for this very much. Add about 1/2 cup of Ketchup for Patrick Mahomes, a couple dashes of Worsh sauce and some hot sauce if you like heat. I put in just about a teaspoon of little rooster or Zim's Hot Sauce if you have it. Also added some Gates seasoning, a little garlic powder and some celery salt. Let that all crock on low for four or five hours. Plate the meatballs, stick a toothpick in each and nosh away!

We have crock pot burritos frequently - toss in some pork shoulder, beans, hot peppers, etc.

Thanks so much!

I also like to make small batches of these and put them over the top of a nicely grilled steak. Makes a nice complimentary steak side. Also forgot to mention, they'll be a lot of liquid in the crock pot, so pull the mushrooms out with a slotted spoon. Don't want them to be too runny on the plate.
