Ingredients
- 8 slices thin-sliced bacon cut into 1/4" pieces
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 30 ounces kidney beans canned, rinsed, drained
- 15 ounces black beans canned ,rinsed, drained
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup your favorite BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
- ½ cup beer plus more, if needed
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Fire up your smoker for cooking at 225 F. I used plenty of hickory wood because I wanted a good amount of smoke flavor.
- Cook the bacon pieces in a large pot or Dutch oven. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat (optional).
- Add the onion and garlic. Stir and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Transfer to a disposable pan and onto the smoker.
- Smoke 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. If the beans get too thick, stir in a bit more beer.
Notes
Don't be afraid to add a few seeded, chopped jalapenos for a nice spicy edge.
