πŸ“ Instructions:

  1. Wash and Soak: Begin by washing the kidney beans and allowing them to soak overnight in cold water. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.

  2. Boil the Beans: In the same water used for soaking, bring the beans to a hard boil. Cover and let them simmer for 1-2 hours until they are tender. Drain the beans and keep them warm.

  3. Prepare the Flavorful Mix: In a large pan, combine all the remaining ingredients – bulk pork sausage, brown sugar, diced apples, chopped onions, minced garlic, tomato juice, Worcestershire powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Mix everything thoroughly.

  4. Bring to a Boil: Without precooking anything, bring the mixture to a hard boil. The aromas will start to fill your kitchen, creating anticipation for the delicious outcome.

  5. Simmer with Beans: Gently mix in the drained kidney beans, ensuring they are coated with the flavorful mixture. Allow the beans to simmer for an additional 2 hours, ensuring a tight-fitting lid to trap the savory goodness.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once simmered to perfection, serve the San Fernando Beans hot. The combination of tender beans, savory sausage, and the sweetness of apples will make this dish a favorite in your Tex Mex repertoire.

🍲 Tip: Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, varying levels of sausage spiciness, and adjusting the chili powder to suit your taste preferences. Each variation brings a unique twist to this San Fernando-inspired dish.
