The Best Barbecue Baked Beans image

It's not a real barbecue until a dish of baked beans shows up! While there are many different versions and many different techniques, I'm here to tell you that these are the best. These are the tastiest, most satisfying, the easiest, and the meatiest. They not only make a great side dish, but if the budget's a little tight, these will absolutely work as a main course. Sprinkle the top with sliced green onion if you like.

Time 11h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound dried red beans
3 quarts water
1 bay leaf
1 ½ pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 cup barbecue sauce
½ cup ketchup
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 ½ cups reserved bean cooking liquid
6 slices thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Add dry beans to a bowl, cover with water, and let soak for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Drain beans and transfer to a large pot filled with 3 quarts of cold, fresh water. Add bay leaf, pork shoulder, and onion. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir. Skim off foam if desired. Let simmer until beans are just tender, about 1 hour.
  • While beans simmer, combine barbecue sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, cayenne, black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder in a bowl with a whisk. Set aside until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Transfer tender bean mixture to a deep, 15x10-inch baking dish using a spider strainer. Pour in barbecue sauce mixture and 2 ½ cups of the bean cooking liquid. Place bacon slices on top.
  • Bake uncovered in the center of the preheated oven until the liquids have reduced into a thick sauce, 2 to 3 hours.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can(s) (15 ounces) black beans
1 can(s) (15 ounces) dark red kidney beans
3 can(s) (each 15 ounces) baked beans or pork and beans
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
1 - poblano pepper or green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped and also 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
4 clove(s) garlic, minced
3-6 - jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced (for hotter beans, leave the seeds in)
2 cup(s) sweet red barbecue sauce (your favorite commercial brand)
1 1/2 cup(s) firmly packed light brown sugar, or more to taste
1/2 cup(s) dijon mustard, or more to taste
2 teaspoon(s) liquid smoke (optional, see note)
- coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper
- bacon, fried, as much as desired

Steps:

  • You Will Also Need: (turkey-size) or 2 medium-size aluminum foil pans; 2 cups wood chips or chunks (preferably pecan or hickory) soaked for 1 hour in hot water to cover, then drained.
  • 1. If using bacon, place it in a large skillet over medium heat and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour off all the bacon fat, saving a few Tablespoons for the beans, if desired.
  • 2. Empty the cans of black and kidney beans into a colander and drain. Rinse the beans under cold running water and drain again. Place all the beans (including the baked beans or pork and beans) in a large non-reactive mixing bowl and add the onion, bell and poblano peppers, garlic, and jalapenos and stir to mix. Add the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, mustard, liquid smoke, if using, fried bacon stir to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more brown sugar and/or mustard as necessary, and salt and black pepper to taste; the beans should be very flavorful. Transfer the bean mixture to the aluminum foil pan or pans. (If you used bacon, you can drizzle a few tablespoons of bacon fat over the beans for extra flavor.)
  • 3. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium-low. If using a gas grill, place all of the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium-low. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium-low then toss all of the wood chips or chunks on the coals.
  • 4. When ready to cook, place the pan of beans in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat, and cover the grill. Cook the beans until they are thick and richly flavored, about 1 hour. If the beans start to dry out, cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Remove the beans from the grill and let them rest for 15 minutes, then serve.
  • NOTE: If you cook the beans in a gas grill, you probably won't be able to generate enough smoke for a strong wood flavor. Add the liquid smoke in this case.

BEST BARBECUED BEANS ON THE PLANET



Best Barbecued Beans on the Planet image

Inventor, restaurateur, rub manufacturer, and winner of barbecue contests too numerous to mention, "Oklahoma" Joe Davidson isn't given to false modesty. So when the Oklahoma pit master proclaims these to be the "best barbecued beans on the planet," you'd best sit up and take notice. Joe's secret is to start with a mix of beans-baked, red, and black-then cook them in a smoker. Enriching the beans with a pound of chopped smoked brisket doesn't hurt either! I've tinkered with Joe's recipe a little, but I think you'll find that these live up to their name. ShareTweetPin216 Shares
