Apple Walnut BBQ Beans
1 cup Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1 tbs. butter
1-15oz can small white beans with juice
3/4 cup Tony Chachere's Honey Bacon & BBQ Marinade
2 tbs. brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
salt to taste
Sauté apples, onions, and walnuts in butter for about 2 minutes. Add beans, Tony Chachere's Honey Bacon & BBQ Marinade, brown sugar, applesauce, and salt. Simmer for 15 minutes stirring frequently.
TIP: If you can't find a tri-tip at your local supermarket, ask the butcher. He can cut one for you. It is a great cut of tender beef.
