Awesome recipe Gary! Cooked the scaled down version today, use some of the brisket trimmings and threw them in the beans while they were cooking and it was great. Like other posters, i cut back a little on the brown sugar cause I used Bush's. Added some hot sauce and perfection!
One question, how many people will the original recipe serve? If I am cooking for 50-75 people will that be enough, or should I double that?

Thank you, As far as how many I'm not sure It depends on how many people like beans and go back for more, One of my grandsons loves these beans and goes back several times.
Also depends on if your serving or they are serving themselves (People have a tendency to load up) I think the avg. rule of thumb is about 1/2 cup per serving.
I'm sure Chef JJ and a few others can give you a better average amount. But make plenty better to have some to send home with folks than run out

Your answer is very timely. I have been asked to make your beans for a BBQ next weekend. I think the host will be having about 25 total. A few months ago, Costco had a 117 ounce can (roughly 2x the 55 ounce can that is part of the original recipe) of Bush's beans (which is what I've been using) for next to nothing. 117 ounces is almost exactly 15 8-oz servings, but I figured 8 ounces is a lot (some don't have any, but some go back for seconds). Your suggestion of 4 ounces sounds closer. At 1/2 cup (4 oz), that would be 30 servings which would be more than enough.
Thanks for inadvertently helping me as well.

Gary, just wanted to let you know that I thawed out two containers of your beans and took them to a clam bake this afternoon. Everyone kept saying how good they were and we're just loving them.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Doing this recipe today to have it ready for tomorrow. I'm going to do it the same way except I have some Chipotle spice rub to substitute for the Tony C's seasoning . I also am using the honey Chipotle Sweet Baby Rays sauce to go with the spice rub in it. Same spice rub on the pork butt I'm doing . I will probably let the dripping fall into the beans for an hour or 2 before I foil with juice through the stall.
Will have a small thread maybe. I'm using a new modded smoker.
Enjoy the holiday all!

I call mine, Cowboy Beans. My ingredients are almost identical. Me and a couple of friends were on a Pheasant hunt bout 20 years ago and just made it up. I fry a bunch of bacon in black iron skillet. Remove bacon. Do not remove the bacon grease. Add diced Serrano peppers cook for a bit then add diced onions and cook till clear. add Bush's original Baked Beans, couple of big handfuls dark brown sugar. Tony's and black pepper to your taste. Add bout 1/2 can of beer. Cook it down very slowly stirring all during the cook. Don't walk to far away cause it will burn. It is great and spicy hot. I can modify it hotter or not so hot. I love it in the ole black iron skillet. Smoking it interest me. I will try it very soon. Have a good one!

Kinda like mine, What we call Cowboy Beans is a Big pot of Pinto Beans a pound of Ground Beef (Browned)
and a jar of Pace Picante Sauce (I like Hot) Mix it all together and let simmer for a bit. And of course a pan of cornbread.

Looking back over this Gary I copied the ingredients and not the steps so my mistake. But they still turned out great.

Great, You don't have to cook the bacon, but I do for a couple of reasons.
Cooking the bacon gives me some bacon grease to saute my onions and peppers, And everybody seems to like the texture of the bacon better in the beans.

Had some left over of your beans and did hotdogs and the beans mixed. They were awesome. I sliced the hotdogs in 1/4" rounds then brown them in a little oil then added the beans. Wow was great.
