As a kid, I used to tell people “the more you eat [baked beans] the more you toot!” I remember sharing this with one of my relatives who had made baked beans for a family gathering. I also recall she was less amused than I was. I thought it was hoot!
Baked beans = farts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sadly, I’ved retained my potty humor as an adult. I blame my dad. He likes potty humor too!
While I no longer go around telling everyone that beans make you toot (still laughing!!), I will tell everyone that these beans are da bomb. HA! Stop me. Seriously, I’m out of control! Next I’ll be buying the fart app for my iPad.
Yeah, it exists. The genius behind it has probably made a stinking fortune off it too.
HA! I’m here all day folks!
Okay, back to the baked beans. These are seriously delicious. The green chiles add a little pep, but the pineapple keeps it sweet. I made mine in the oven, but this can also be made in your slow cooker, which is ideal for a hot summer day.
When you serve them at your next barbecue, it’s totally up to you whether you want to share with everyone, “the more you eat, the more you toot!”
Yup. Still laughing.
