BBQ Baked Black Beans

A decadent baked bean recipe with a Southwest accent.

Ingredients

Serves 4
3 slices Bacon, Thick Cut, Chopped
1/2 Onion, Diced
25 g Poblano Pepper, Diced (Substitute with jalapeños if you can't source these)
2 tsp Garlic, Minced
650 g Black Beans, Canned, Drained
230 g Cattlemens ® Kansas City Classic BBQ Sauce
6 tbsp Chicken Stock
3/4 tsp Schwartz ® Ground Cumin
2 tbsp Feta Cheese, Crumbled
1 tbsp Coriander, Chopped

Set oven to 170°C/Fan150°C/325°F. In a heavy bottom pot, render bacon and cook until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon. Reserve, leaving fat in pan.
Add onions, poblano and garlic to bacon fat and sauté until tender. Add beans, BBQ Sauce, stock and cumin. Stir to combine and heat to a simmer.
Transfer mixture to a shallow hotel pan. Cover and bake until bean mixture has reduced and thickened, about 30-40 minutes.
Stir in reserved bacon and garnish with Feta cheese and cilantro. Serve hot.

For additional spicy heat add Chipotle Pepper or Ancho Chile Pepper.
