How to Make Bean Bob

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Dice 4 slices of bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, diced, to the bacon grease in the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine: 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the cooked bacon.
  5. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Pour the bean mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. (Optional: During the last 10 minutes of baking, add 2 sliced hot dogs for extra flavor).
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
