A deeply smoky dish perfect for gatherings, blending creamy baked beans with crispy bacon, sweet brown sugar, and spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cans (15 oz each) baked beans, drained slightly
  • ½ lb chopped bacon
  • 1 small onion (finely diced)
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon yellow or Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: finely chopped jalapeño for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat the smoker to a steady temperature of 250–275 °F, using hickory, apple, or mesquite wood.
  2. Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until partially crisp, then remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the diced onion and jalapeño (if using) in the bacon fat until softened and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Combine the drained baked beans, crispy bacon, sautéed onion, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large skillet or foil pan.
  5. Place the pan uncovered in the preheated smoker and let smoke for 2–3 hours, stirring once or twice until thick and bubbly.
  6. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite grilled or smoked meats.

Notes

Use good quality bacon for better flavor. Adjust the spice level according to preference.
