Savory Texas cowboy beans with pork sausage, sweet apples, and a touch of rum.
Ingredients:
  • 6 cups cold water
  • 2.25 cups dried pinto beans
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 cups peeled tart apple slices
  • 1.5 cups tomato juice
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 0.25 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 0.25 cup Jamaican rum
  • 0.25 cup sour cream, for topping
Instructions:
  • Place the beans in a pot with cold water and let soak for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Combine butter with the beans and water in a pot; bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours until beans are tender.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork sausage until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside 2 tablespoons of sausage drippings.
  • Combine sausage and reserved drippings with apple slices, tomato juice, onion, brown sugar, garlic, salt, chili powder, mustard, and black pepper in with the beans. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer covered on low heat for about 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  • Gently fold in rum with the beans, spoon into bowls, and garnish with sour cream.
