Mo'nique's Baked Beans

mailbelle's Note:

From Mo'Niques cookbook, "Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted." Her recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, but to me that's too much, so I cut it back to 2 teaspoons.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ cup chopped white onion
• ¼ lb ground turkey
• 2 (28 ounce) cans baked beans
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¼ cup aunt jemima's syrup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepot. Saute the onion and ground turkey for 4-6 minutes.
3. Add the baked beans and all of the remaining ingredients except the cheese. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
4. Pour into a baking dish, sprinkle with the cheese, and bake for 10-15 minutes, until bubbly.

Holy beans...this is GOOD stuff! I cut the recipe in half for just the three of us. I loved the cinnamon (used 1 tsp.) in it and highly recommend giving cinnamon a try in any favorite baked bean recipe. Oh, and I made it with all sugar free ingredients - still very good.
