Anybody have a recipe for some baked beans they'd like to share? We love beans and I've been wanting to make them on the grill for awhile now. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Thanks Bruce, with all the praise from other members on this thread it HAS to be a winner. I added this to my recipe folder. Man, the pics look so good to, I could just eat a big ole bowl of this but, the wife would probably kill me:p thanks Bruce.
 
1 large can (28-32 oz) Baked Beans with sauce

4 - 16 oz cans of any of the following drained and rinsed:
Butter beans large & small
Black Beans
Navy Beans
Canellini Beans
Pinto Beans
(any other kind of bean you like)

1 cup ketchup (make enough sauce)
2-4 tablespoons BBQ Rub

Additions if you like:
Onions
Green Peppers
Bacon
A little pulled pork or brisket

Cook on the smoker for an hour or two or throw in the oven at 350 for 45 min to an hour.
 
I made these the other night and really liked them.

I took 4 strips of bacon and 2 hot dogs and sliced them up, and added a medium chopped onion. Sauteed everything till the bacon was done. Added 2 cans Bush's beans and a half a can of water and then cooked the beans down and your done.
 
Ingredients:
· 6 sliced bacon cut crosswise into 1" lengths
· 1 medium onion coarsely chopped
· 1/2 Bell pepper coarsely chopped
· 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
· 1 can pineapple chunks packed in water - drained - reserve the water
· 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
· 1/2 cup molasses
· 3 tbs of stone ground or Creole mustard
· 1 - 2 oz bourbon or Southern Comfort
· Salt and Pepper to taste

Procedure: In a large pot (I use my cast iron Dutch oven), render the bacon over medium low heat until the pieces are crisp. Reserve bacon and pour off all but 2 tbs of the fat. Increase heat to medium high and sauté the onions and Bell pepper until the onions are translucent. Add the drained pineapple chunks and sauté until they pick up a little color (about two minutes), reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook another two minutes stirring constantly. Add the baked beans, bourbon, reserved pineapple water, brown sugar, molasses, salt and pepper, and mustard and stir to mix thoroughly. Pour this mixture into an oven (or smoker) safe casserole dish and place the reserved bacon pieces on the top. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 or add to your smoker for the last hour or two of your smoking session.

Alternatives: Add some heat with jalapenos or poblanos (either instead of or in addition to the Bell peppers). Instead of pineapple use cut up canned or fresh peaches (if you use peaches - go for the SoCo)...

I hope you enjoy it...

Regards,

John
