DO NOT MAKE THESE SMOKED BEANS!!!  I REPEAT, DO NOT MAKE THESE SMOKED BEANS!!!!  You will be hounded day and night, winter and summer to make more!!  These beans disappear faster then the ribs and my family functions.  They are that good.  Congrats Gary.  A definite winner!!!
Thank you for such a nice compliment  It really makes me feel good  when people enjoy my recipes.

I made your beans for dinner after the Super Bowl. I've been with my wife for almost forty-five years, and not once has she EVER asked for a second helping of baked beans. Last night she not only asked, she almost demanded some more.

The only mods to your recipe: I used Bush's baked beans instead of Pork and Beans, and I didn't have a jalapeño, so I just left that out.

Finally, I scaled down the recipe, since we only had a few people. Your recipe called for one 55-ounce can of beans plus two "regular" cans. I had to guess on what size you meant, but assumed you meant 16-ounce cans. 55 + 2*16 = 87 ounces. Two 16-ounce cans is just a little more than one-third of the original recipe, so I simply divided all your measurements by three and came up with this scaled version of the recipe, for two 16-ounce cans.

2     16 ounce cans pork and beans (I used Bush's baked beans)

3-5  bacon slices

½     medium onion

1      small jalapeño pepper

½     cup brown sugar

½     cup (Favorite BBQ sauce) Sweet Baby Ray’s is good

2      teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1      teaspoons Black Pepper (coarse ground)

¾     teaspoon garlic powder

1      teaspoon Tony Chachere’s (or any other Cajun spice - I used Paul Prudhomme)

Put in smoker for 3-4 hours at 225º, stirring every once in a while. [edit] I've been making this with less brown sugar because the Bush beans already have plenty of sweetness.

2      15 ounce cans pork and beans (I used Bush's baked beans)

3-5  bacon slices

½     medium onion

1      small jalapeño pepper

½     cup brown sugar

½     cup (Favorite BBQ sauce) Sweet Baby Ray’s is good

Put in smoker for 3-4 hours at 225º, stirring every once in a while. You can add salt and honey to taste, but I found there was enough of both in the recipe already and it didn't need any more sweetness or salt.
Glad you enjoyed them, One thing about My recipes (or pretty much any other) you can add or leave out whatever you like or don't like

I've used bushes before and they are great

Gary,

I am kicking myself today because one thing that would most definitely work with this is a few ounces of bourbon.

Just one more reason for me to do this recipe again soon.
 
 
Honestly, don't ever make these beans. If you do, you will forever be hounded to make them. Curse you Gary!!!!!
I'm  Sorry !!!!

Surprise surprise! Guess what I have been "requested" to make for a dinner party tomorrow?
Ahhh   BRISKET ???      It really makes me feel good when I see a post that someone is making one of my Recipes.

I'm about ready for a batch of beans myself !!

Gary
 
Hey AK, I see Lococo has picnic shoulders on for $.99 this week and was thinking of smoking one over some beans while they bake. How did this recipe turn out for you assuming you did this recipe.

Thanks John  
 
Gary,

  I had the smoker going while the family went to six flags. I had some chicken going and thought "Self, what would make some good sides?"

I got online and searched the forum site for baked beans. I didn't have ALL of the ingredients, so I made a throw-together variation. My nephew didn't eat his chicken, my son didn't either, but they ate the beans like there was no tomorrow!! Both of my daughters went back for seconds on chicken and beans, mostly beans. My sister-in-law got thirds on beans, and my wife talked about them for two days!!! You'd have thought they were eating their last meals!!!

Doing a brisket tomorrow and these are definitely on the menu! Can't wait to see how the drippings affect the recipe!!!

Thanks alot for posting!
 
Those Beans are addictive, I make them just about every time I have something smoking.

Glad everyone enjoyed them

Gary
 
Gary,

I'm going to try your beans this weekend. I'm looking forward to trying a new smoked bean recipe. I'm planning on smoking these for about 1-1.5 hours before I throw some pork tenderloins on above the beans.

I will let you know how they turn out, but I'm pretty sure you'll know that they're going to be fantastic!! Thanks for sharing.
 
Gary don't know how I've missed this but will definitely give them a try. My group loves BB. I see you have now made 20,000 post also congrats on that my friend

Warren
 
Thanks Warren

Thanks Xray  I made some last Saturday

Gary, much like the rest of the folks here, I too plan on giving these a try.  And I can't wait to do so.  It'll either be this weekend but more likely next weekend.  I'll simply make the whole batch and if I have too much leftovers I'll just freeze them for future meals.

I do have a question though.  Reading through other threads I saw "Gary's BBQ Sauce" mentioned.  The thread said that your sauce, or another Gary's sauce, was REALLY good.  So I was wondering if you may have previously posted a recipe for a special sauce or if it were a secret recipe shared between only close BBQ Brothers?
