Barbecue Baked Beans Smoked on the Pit | HowToBBQRight

Easy recipe for Barbecue Baked Beans Smoked right on the BBQ Pit
#barbecuebakedbeans #bbqbakedbeans #howtobbqright
My mom was always in charge of making the beans for our family barbecues, and this recipe reminds of the barbecue baked beans she made.
There isn’t anything fancy about this recipe, and I can’t recall her ever measuring the ingredients. My mom tasted as she went (I’m sure that’s why she’s such a good cook); and when the beans were just right, they were ready for the smoker.
The one thing that was always the same with her beans was the ShowBoat brand pork & beans. I will beat that just about every household in the south has a can of these somewhere in the pantry. She would drain several cans of pork & beans (leaving the hunks of fat) into a large pan or dutch oven and then start adding the ingredients that turns them into barbecue beans.
Brown Sugar and Sweet Onion always went in along with ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire. She would add whatever sauce was on sale or in the fridge and follow that with BBQ seasonings from the spice cabinet. We didn’t have any fancy rubs back then, so lots of time she would concoct her own.
Once the beans tasted up to her satisfaction they went on the smoker for about 3 hours. There wasn’t any specific time or temperature but the beans were always ready when it was time to serve the meat.
Barbecue Baked Beans Ingredients:
- 75oz Showboat Pork & Beans (5-15oz cans)
- 1 Vidalia Onion diced
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce (use your favorite brand or what’s on sale)
- 1/2 cup Ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons Mustard
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire
- 1/2 cup BBQ Rub (any bbq rub will work for beans)
Barbecue Baked Beans Directions:
1. Prepare charcoal smoker or other grill for indirect cooking at 250-275 degrees. Use your favorite wood for smoke flavor.
2. Drain the pork & beans and pour into an aluminum pan.
3. Add the diced onion, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, BBQ Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, and BBQ Rub.
4. Gently fold to incorporate the ingredients and cook smoke uncovered for 2.5-3 hours or until onions are soft and liquid has thickened slightly.

In Texas we cook up dried pintos till tender with lots of cumin, chili powder, garlic onion and jalapeños with some bacon. I have never had baked beans before can’t decide if I would like a bean with sweetness to it. They looked darn good though may have to give it a shot.

[@jamescoombs3880]

Heybo, you forgot to mention when you know the beans are done. It's what I call the "crust" on the top. Yours had that great dark crust, which is my cue to pull them from the que.

[@benitodavila]

How about taco seasoning, will it work as a substitute of dry rub? Great recipe BTW!!!

[@wsbarth92]

any way we can get these thicker? just cook longer? what about molasses?

[@johnfahoum7494]

Do these recipes work on a standard natural gas grill? Or does it have to be a wood fired smoker?

[@brucehayes5111]

Just for good measure, I pre-cook about 6 slices of bacon and diced up a bell pepper along with your recipe and it's a home run with everyone!!

Tried the bbq baked beans on the Traeger. Took them to a church function and received several comments on how good they were. But the best compliment was an empty pan. Thank you for your time and informative videos. They are making me a super star with church family. Awesome recipe. 👍🏻

[@porsche944mt]

I did the same thing, too! Now they request them whenever there is an event at the church. I modified mine a bit by adding a full pound of bacon (after frying it up in a skillet) and half of the grease they produce (I save the other half in my frig in a "bacon grease" container) to the beans. Instead of using 5 can's of pork and beans, I use two and the rest are one can of black beans, kidney beans and butter beans, drained. Best beans ever!

[@porsche944mt]

I never thought to just sprinkle the bacon on the top. I usually mix the bacon in with the beans and half the bacon grease. They don't come out greasy because the beans absorb the grease. But the flavor is out of this world.

[@rueridge7597]

T 2 It’s obvious you don’t know much about food if you think anything made with Showboat beans is going to be worth a shit. They are the potted meat product of canned beans.

[@bufordt.justice7777]

Then make your own video crybaby bitches.

[@Garrzilla]

Add some pulled pork to make them even better!

[@richj011]

Those beans will hit the spot everytime! Add a couple chipotle peppers diced in adobo sauce for a little heat.

[@blonaparte]

Another awesome and simple recipe from Malcolm. My tweak is to add chopped jalapeno to your taste for spicy flavor. Next, toss in whatever leftover meat you've got on hand for flavor and texture. Best are meats that have previously been marinated, smoked or seasoned as you get a hint of that flavoring as an add. Pulled pork, pork belly or meat stripped from ribs all work well. Could also use brisket or anything else. Finally, replace two of the store-bought baked bean cans with one can of black beans and one can of kidney beans. Be sure to drain off that thick fluid that the black and red beans are packed in and wash the beans off in a colander before adding to the dish. This gives the final product extra visual interest from the contrasting shades of beans as well as a small amount of additional texture in every bite.

[@mikearterburn2168]

I really like your earlier recipe with the red bell pepper, garlic, and pulled pork. I’m sure these are fantastic too!

[@prevost8686]

I like to use a tray of these as a drip tray when I'm using the cabinet smoker. Have to be careful not to over smoke the cook, but otherwise - they collect up all that good fat & don't burn as long as you throw a cup of water in there ha;f way through or as needed.
