Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. Double this recipe. And if you have a lot of leftover smoked pulled pork (or brisket) laying around, quadruple the recipe. Because these smoked BBQ baked beans are fantastic you’ll want to make as much as will fit on your smoker at one time. I got this fantastic (and easy) recipe and many others from Brother Jimmy’s BBQ: More than 100 Recipes. If you’re a fan of smoking and grilling, you need Brother Jimmy’s now.
Any Smoked Meat Will Work Here
Just about any smoked meat will work just fine in these smoked BBQ baked beans. I prefer brisket or pulled pork, but chicken and turkey are good too. This is an excellent way to use up leftover (or not leftover) meats. They really add a lot of flavor.
… And Any Beans
This recipe uses good ole canned pork and beans. You know the ones. Big cans. Beans. Pork. Sauce. Nothing fancy. But good eats. Great out of the can, warmed. But add a few ingredients, and you’ve got greatness. Of course, one of those ingredients is smoke. At least, I consider it one…
I usually smoke my sides (and many of my meats) over lighter woods. I prefer fruit woods such as apple or cherry.
- Pecan wood chunks
- Provides a rich & Sweet flavor
More Stuff
Sure. You can add more things in to the beans before the go onto the smoker. Bell peppers? Yep. Sauté them with the onion. Jalapenos? Chopped or sliced. I’d just add them in as-is, no need to cook them up-front.
The BBQ sauce is your call. I lean towards a traditional BBQ sauce, one without smoke or heat. But you do you. This is a great time to grab a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce. Any one of them. Or use a combination of them. SBR comes in everything from traditional, to smoky to spicy!
