Three Bean Macaroni Salad

I’m always on the lookout for a new salad, specially if it has macaroni in it. This three bean macaroni salad is somewhat similar to our popular peas and pasta salad in that it has a nice creamy dressing and a nice crunch thanks to onion and bell pepper. The addition of dill really makes the dressing even better.

Three Bean Macaroni Salad

I can see adding cubed pepper jack cheese to this three bean macaroni salad to really take it over the top, so I included it in the recipe (though I didn’t make it with the cheese).

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Beans and Weenies

These are not the beans and weenies you may have eaten as a kid. Not even close. Smoky bacon, sweet baked beans, and kickin’ jalapenos. You definitely won’t confuse them with the canned version. And you definitely won’t confuse them with the potluck version that uses lil ole chopped up hot dogs.

Beans and Weenies

You can use any store-bought sausage in this dish, but for a really tasty version, use some fresh sausage from a local butcher. I used some great kielbasa sausage from Moody’s Butcher shop in nearby Zionsville, Indiana. The sausages definitely up’d my  game.

Creamy Butter Beans

I had a hard time deciding if these creamy butter beans were a side dish or as a main. We had them as a main dish, with cornbread. And we had them as a side. So… they’re both a main dish and a side dish!! And they are so creamy good!

Creamy Butter Beans

These creamy butter beans are the ultimate comfort dish, and a welcomed change from the usual chili or big bowl of black-eyed peas that I usually turn to on a cool evening.

For a little Cajun kick to your beans, substitute chopped cooked andouille sausage for the ham.

I like to use my good ole trusty Dutch oven to make these beans and pretty much darned near anything like it on my stovetop. It’s nice and big and sturdy. That extra weight helps it maintain and distribute heat perfectly. As an added bonus, it’s actually pretty easy to clean up too!

Best BBQ Beans on the Planet

The best? Really? Quite the bold claim saying that these are the best BBQ beans on the planet. So, being the skeptical person that I am, I figured these would be lame, middle-of-the-road, and nothing really to talk about.

Best BBQ Beans on the Planet

Well, I was wrong. These are the best BBQ beans on the planet and the best I’ve ever had. Now, to be fair, I’ve had some that were close seconds. But these are amazing. So are they the best on the planet? Inspired by Steven Raichlen, these are the best beans in the galaxy. Raichlen introduced me on to a world outside of just firing up some charcoal and tossing on a rubbery steak. And he gave me grill envy. I mean, really, have you seen his shows? He has the BEST toys!

Be cautious when lifting the pan of beans on and off the grill. Always support the pan on the bottom. I use oven mitts.

The only way to make these is on the grill, over indirect heat. Although you can make them in the oven, but you’d really be missing the point (and some flavor).

Also try my easy spicy grilled potatoes.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set up your grill for indirect cooking.
  • Place a few chunks of mesquite over the coals.
  • Add the bacon pieces to a large skillet or Dutch oven over high heat and cook until starting to crisp. Remove bacon to a plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings (I strained the rest and refrigerated it for oiling my grill grates).
  • Place all remaining ingredients into a 9" x 13" disposable pan with 3" sides. Stir.
  • Drizzle reserved bacon drippings over the top of the beans.
  • Place pan on grill over indirect heat.
  • Cook for at least 1 hour, monitoring to see if the beans get too hot or dry out (you might have to add water).
  • Remove beans once they and the vegetables are tender.
  • Cover grill

Notes

You’ll need a 9″ x 13″ disposable pan with 3″ sides.

Franks and Beans

Franks and beans were one of my favorites as a kid, though I called them hot dogs and not franks. I guess you could serve these as a side dish…. but, I wouldn’t. And some people call them beans and franks, but I think the hot dogs should get top billing!

Franks and Beans

I have two rules about this dish: first, you can’t have too many hot dogs, and second, save eating most of the hot dogs for last. Sad is the day when you get to the bottom of the bowl and all you have left are beans!

6 Bean Chili

This 6 bean chili is fantastic. I love all the various beans in it. It’s great for cold weather. We’re getting snow here today in Indianapolis. This chili will take the edge off of the shoveling we’re going to have to do! Instead of green onions as garnish, I used cebollitas, which are like green onions on steroids. They’re often grilled or roasted, but also worked great as a garnish on this chili.

Spanish Style Beans

I am not exaggerating when I say that everyone thought that these Spanish style beans from Drick’s Rambling Cafe are the best they ever had. They have a great southwestern zing to them. They are packed with so many flavors. And they are definitely out-of-the-ordinary crazy delicious.

Spanish Style Beans

These Spanish style beans are not only great as a side, but also great on hot dogs or as a dip (get a bag of those big Frito Scoops and dig in!).

This recipe calls for Ranch Style beans. Our local Meijer grocery store did not carry them, but Kroger did. They are basically pinto beans in a seasoned sauce.

Grilled Chinese Long Green Beans

The produce section at Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati is fantastic. The last time we were there I noticed they had Chinese long green beans, so I picked up a pound. I’ve seen them used on cooking shows on TV, but I’ve never cooked them. I figured I’d try out some grilled Chinese long green beans. And I’m glad I did!

Grilled Chinese Long Green Beans

I decided to make these grilled Chinese long green beans along with some radishes and garlic. They have great green bean flavor (I love even regular green beans off the grill), plus they’re fun to look at. They are over a foot long!
