My Beans Were Not the Best

Normally when I get Dakota's Pride baked beans from Aldi, they are good. Not Bush's Best good. But they do the trick and they are cheaper. Had a can with dinner last night and I thought they seemed like they weren't fully cooked. They were somewhat hard and chewy. Oh well. Cant win them all. I got a bad batch is all. But I will still eat them. Waste not, want not, and it's not like they were totally inedible.

Why would you eat them if they aren't good?

I cannot stand to waste food for one, and I am creative enough in the kitchen that I can repurpose them if absolutely necessary.

I am like you, I don't like to waste food too many people starving in this world. I can always try and doctor something to make it better.

Me too. I find most things can be repurposed if absolutely necessary. Just requires a little bit of know-how and a little bit of creativity. And maybe a strong stomach. lol

The only side effects so far are the ones I typically expect from beans.

Their beans are all right. But they are very far down on the bottom of my list when it comes to baked beans for me.

You could have cooked them a bit longer and they would have become soft instead of eating them hard. A post about beans should always be accompanied by this video:

Btw, what you've never known about ALDI and didn't dare to ask is here:
The founders of the world’s most successful discount chain were the German brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht. Karl and Theo Who? ALBRECHT, like in ALDI which...

Sorry those beans were disappointing. Usually the stuff at Aldi is good. I don't like to waste food either

For that reason alone I will never buy anything other than Bush's baked beans. But I'm glad you didn't let them go to waste.

We buy Bush baked beans regularly and love the different varieties. The vegetarian, that's our new favorite.

I avoid canned beans and prefer to buy them raw and fresh for cooking. The secret is to soak them overnight in a bowl with water and the next day to place them in a saucepan or pressure cooker to cook. It will take less time to cook and they will be soft and fresh without artificial preservatives.

We like Bush's Baked Beans. I doubt that hubs would try Aldi's brand. In fact, we may visit Bush's location in Dandridge TN (either TN or GA).

I go with Bush beans. You can't beat that Bush family. Just goes to show you Republicans know how to count their "beans."

At least they made you full is what I think when something like that happens to me. But then I know what to do for next time.
