John & Becky Bunting

We went to Bakersfield to visit family on Saturday and had a great time. Grandma Bunting got a new printer so John set it up for her. She arranged to have dinner at David and Cherie’s and we really enjoyed the chicken enchiladas. Cherie was down at the temple, but Jocelyn & Oscar were there with their kids and Uncle Karl came over for dinner too. We stayed to visit for a little while and Mariah played her cello for grandma. Thanks so much for having us, we had a great time!

Here is the beach beans recipe…can I get the enchilada recipe?

Leo’s Beach Beans

6 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2″ pieces (6-8 slices)

3 jalapeño peppers, seeded & diced

6 ounces onion, diced

5 – 15 oz cans pork & beans

1 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1 ham hock, criss-cross ham (optional)

Cook bacon on medium heat until crisp. Drain fat. Saute onion and jalapenos until tender. Add pork & beans, dried mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, liquid smoke and cayenne.

If using hambone, crisscross the ham that is left on the bone and place in center of bean mixture.
