Smoked Bourbon Baked Beans

[msocko3]

I stumbled across this recipe on another forum, I've made them several times and they are a crowed pleaser. When I made them for the guys at work, one of them dared the others to touch them as he stood menacingly over them with a fork.

• 6 strips of thick cut hickory smoked bacon fried then cubed or chunked
  2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
  1 green bell pepper, coarsley chopped
  1 jalapeño, or more or less to your taste, coarsley chopped Seeding is optional
  1 can (53 ounces) plain pork and beans
  1 can (15 ounces) red kidney beans
  1 can great northern beans
  1/2 cup ketchup
  1/4 cup Kentucky Bourbon or Tennessee whiskey
  4 tablespoons molasses
  2 tablespoons honey
  2 teaspoons dry mustard
  1/4 teaspoon salt
  1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  
  Let them smoke uncovered for over 3hrs at 230 (I took them to 175 to get the thickness I like) using your smoking wood of choice.

Mike,
I'm gonna try this recipe in my Masterbuilt smoker one day this week. I like beans of all kinds if they are prepared right. You get the protein and flavor without all the fat, not that I always shy away from fat, but I should. What whiskey do you recommend?

Any bourbon or whiskey that you enjoy drinking will do the job. The last time I made these beans for a co-workers little get together, they went fast.

Now to decide if I'm smoking ribs or butt to go with the beans.

I too am going to try these out.. Man they sound really tasty... thnx for the recipe...!! I personally feel that Crown Black Label will prob work quite well in this case.

 

[Sully]

I would like to suggest, instead of a can of plain pork & beans that you use a can of Joan of Arc spicy chili beans. epper:

:Agree: When I do a run of pork butt for pulled pork I always run 2. I vacuum seal and freeze the left overs. Thaw it out, put it in a pan with a little apple juice and its like you just made it.

Free shipping for me of course since I can barely get enough to eat. I will send you my address. Thank you.!! You are a great friend to help me out..!!! .

The Brunswick stew is the bomb, not a cheap date to make. I use pulled pork, smoked chicken and brisket in mine. A large sauce pot sets me back around $100, but damn is it some good stuff, the guys at work tare it up when I make it. We have a local BBQ place with actual culinary trained chefs, folks who have eaten there prefer my BBQ and Brunswick stew.

I'll have to start another thread with the recipe for Brunswick stew.

BBQ Bake Beans

I seem to add something new to this everytime I make them..

1. 3 16oz cans of Pork and Beans
2. 1 large onion
3. 1 large green pepper
4. 1/2 lb. bacon-cooked and crumbled
5. 1 lb ground beef
6. 1 cup ketchup
7. 1 cup brown sugar
8. 2 tbsp mustard
Fry bacon,drain and crumble. Chop onion and bell pepper and cook in bacon grease and drain. Brown ground beef and drain grease. Combine everything. I like to cook these on a smoker if I have room but crock pot or oven will do fine. Smoke adds another flavor. Best if cooked under ribs or butts to catch their drippings!

You're very welcome, I'm sure you will enjoy them. I know every time I make them for the guys at work one of the guys will fight for them.
