Alright, let's make some awesome chorizo baked beans!

First, you'll need 6 1/2 oz of chorizo! I use raw chorizo – it's usually cheaper, sorta like a sausage, but firm. Plus, you gotta cook it anyway. Then, grab some olive oil, two minced garlic cloves, and half a diced onion – white, brown, or yellow, whatever you fancy!

Next, a can—14 oz—of drained cannellini beans (or navy beans should also work). Then, the same amount of crushed tomatoes and half a cup of water.

Now, give it some kick! You'll toss in a tbsp of sugar (brown, white, raw, or even honey would work!), a tsp of paprika, 1 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, and maybe 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper if you're feeling brave. Similarly to a chickpea stew, smoked paprika can add a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish. Don't forget salt (1 tsp) and pepper!. We're almost there!

Instructions

Let's transform those humble components into a stellar dish! First, I dice most of the chorizo, you know, leaving some slices if we're feeling fancy for garnish!

Heat up that olive oil in a skillet over high heat – let's get this party started! I toss in the minced garlic and diced onions and let them cook for about 2 minutes until they become translucent.

Next, it's chorizo time! Throw it all in and saute until it's nicely browned. Now, introduce the remaining baked beans ingredients – crushed tomatoes, spices, and all! For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a small amount of sugar, similar to some Chorizo Baked Beans on Toast recipes. Bring it to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it bubble away for around 10 minutes, stirring every so often. If it's too thick, add a splash of water, easy peasy!

** Embrace the sizzle—it's your flavor alarm!

** Trust your taste buds to know just the right amount of salt and pepper – get creative!

* Patience is key: letting it simmer helps those flavors mingle and make magic happen.

Variations

different types of changes

I'm gonna share some cool twists on this recipe that'll let you mix things up and really make it your own!

Want a vegetarian version? Easy – skip the chorizo and maybe add some smoked paprika—that'll give you a similar smoky flavor. If you're not into white beans, no worries! Black beans or even kidney beans work great. Just drain 'em before you toss 'em in.

Spice it up! Add a finely chopped jalapeño or a pinch more cayenne pepper. Like it sweeter? Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup when simmering. Sweet and heat – yum!

Don't have crushed tomatoes? Use tomato sauce—it'll still taste delish. And hey, if you're feeling fancy, throw in some roasted red peppers for extra flavor. Cooking should be fun, so play around with these and create what you crave!

What to Serve With This Hash

Now that we've talked about how to tweak this recipe, let's discuss what goes great with this hash! I think there are so many options–you cannot go wrong, but here are a few of my top choices.

First, you gotta have eggs. I prefer a runny yolk, but cook 'em how you like, friend! Second, a side of fruit salad cuts through the richness, adding a bit of invigorating sweetness. We need some balance, right?!

Finally, consider adding some good old baked beans to this meal — they just add such depth!

Here's a quick recap of what I mentioned:

  • Eggs: Sunny-side up, scrambled, or poached–your call.
  • Fruit Salad: Berries, melon, grapes — a colorful, juicy mix!
  • Baked Beans: Homemade or canned; they're a savory, saucy complement!
