Best BBQ Beans on the Planet

These are the best BBQ beans on the planet and the best I’ve ever had. Now, to be fair, I’ve had some that were close seconds. But these are amazing.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set up your grill for indirect cooking.
  • Place a few chunks of mesquite over the coals.
  • Add the bacon pieces to a large skillet or Dutch oven over high heat and cook until starting to crisp. Remove bacon to a plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings (I strained the rest and refrigerated it for oiling my grill grates).
  • Place all remaining ingredients into a 9" x 13" disposable pan with 3" sides. Stir.
  • Drizzle reserved bacon drippings over the top of the beans.
  • Place pan on grill over indirect heat.
  • Cook for at least 1 hour, monitoring to see if the beans get too hot or dry out (you might have to add water).
  • Remove beans once they and the vegetables are tender.
  • Cover grill

Notes

You'll need a 9" x 13" disposable pan with 3" sides.
