Stovetop Boston Baked Beans in a sweet, dark, rich, thick sauce are heavenly. Indeed, they are pleasing to smell the aroma wafting from the pot on the stove. Those sweet and sticky beans are a must for any picnic. In fact, these beans are a family favorite. Needless to say, they are an American classic or vintage recipe. During summertime, many backyard BBQs will have Boston Baked Beans as a side dish. This sweet and yet savory dish pairs so nicely with almost any dish. I can almost taste those saucy beans.
Nevertheless, beans have been a New England favorite since the Indians introduced the pilgrims to baked beans. According to history the Indians parboiled and cooked the beans in earthen clay pots and shared them with the settlers. With wonderful and delightfully old-fashioned vintage flavors. Additionally, they are sometimes even called Cowboy Caviar.
Furthermore, baked beans used to be a staple on any cattle drive. Without a doubt, Chuckwagons across America almost always had meals of biscuits, beans, coffee, and dried beef or jerky. Additionally, if you have ever stayed and helped on a Dude Ranch or gone to a Cowboy Cookout, chances are they will have some sort of baked bean on the chuckwagon. Without a doubt, one of my fondest memories is eating at a Cowboy Cookout in Jackson Hole Wyoming, and listening to some good ole cowboy songs and jokes. Indeed, Covered Wagon Cowboy Cookouts are a great way to introduce friends from foreign countries to American history.
