Growing up our family lived on Baked Beans and to this day when there is a family get together Baked Beans will be on the table guaranteed. Now with a BBQ Baked Beans are a must. This recipe is very different as I don’t have a set recipe it’s all on feel, taste, and adjustments over time. I’ll give the basics on the main ingredients in this recipe to get that wonderful color which will tell the mind that they will taste good.
My mother said if you want that beautiful color you need sugar.
When I Smoke meats ranging from two to four people I’ll use 2-3 cans of Van Camps Beans (small ones). Never use Bush’s Beans as a substitute as that will defeat the purpose. Just plain ol Beans is what you want to use. I’ll drain one can if I’m using two cans if I’m using 3 cans I’ll drain two of them. To much juice in the beans will make them to runny. The goal is semi thick.
Here we go, now these are approximate amounts as I don’t measure the ingredients I just dump in the spices.
1/2- 3/4 cup dark Dark Sugar or molasses.
3/4-1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
2 Tsp Mustard Power
2 Tsp Paprika
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder or salt
1/2 tablespoon onion powder or salt.
1/4 tablespoon Cheyenne Pepper.
Several slices of Bacon
Chili seasoning can also be used, jalapeños, onions.
The sky is the limit on the ingredients you can put in this pot it joy. Over time you will be able to adjust ingredients to your likings but remember the SUGAR;)
This glass bowl is only used for Baked Beans.
Mix everything up in the glass dish or disposal tin pan. Now cut your bacon into strips and layer on top. Cover the top generously with bacon. More Bacon = More grease for more flavor:confused:
They can be cooked at 350 degrees for about one hour.
For a long Smoke if you’re around 225-240 degrees they can cook for at least 4-5 hours.
Now once they are being cooked never ever stir the beans. The goal is to get the top crusty plus you want that awesome color and beautiful looking Bacon. Cook them to long and they will dry out.
Sorry for the long post but Baked Beans is serious stuff.
Questions post them up and this thread is just in time for a Father’s day Smoke. Also post up your pot of beans here I’m anxious to see them. Have a great Father’s Day weekend.
