SOUTHERN BARBECUE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a 12-inch cast iron skillet or similar, saute the green pepper, onion and ground beef in reserved bacon drippings until no pink remains in the beef. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper to your taste. After browning, drain any excess fat from the pan.
• To the skillet add beans, barbecue sauce, chili style tomatoes, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, whole grain mustard and barbecue seasoning. Stir until the ingredients are well blended. Add crumbled bacon.
• Place into the oven and bake for 60-75 minuites.
• Stir well, and allow the baked beans to rest for 5-10 minutes on the counter before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

BBQ BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat an oven-proof heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until the fat has started to render and the bacon is beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and bell pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the canned beans, barbecue sauce, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire, brown sugar, mustard powder, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the pot to the oven and bake (uncovered) until the sauce thickens and the beans on top begin to brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

THE BEST BARBECUE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Add dry beans to a bowl, cover with water, and let soak for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Drain beans and transfer to a large pot filled with 3 quarts of cold, fresh water. Add bay leaf, pork shoulder, and onion. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir. Skim off foam if desired. Let simmer until beans are just tender, about 1 hour.
• While beans simmer, combine barbecue sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, cayenne, black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder in a bowl with a whisk. Set aside until needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer tender bean mixture to a deep, 15x10-inch baking dish using a spider strainer. Pour in barbecue sauce mixture and 2 ½ cups of the bean cooking liquid. Place bacon slices on top.
• Bake uncovered in the center of the preheated oven until the liquids have reduced into a thick sauce, 2 to 3 hours.

MOLASSES BBQ BEANS

Steps:

• Cook white beans according to directions on package until slightly tender. In a saucepan combine the remaining ingredients and simmer for 45 minutes. It is important to cook the beans and make the sauce at the same time so that the hot beans will absorb the hot sauce. Season to taste with honey, salt and pepper. The beans should cook an additional 30 minutes in the sauce so that they are tender and have fully absorbed the flavor.

PERFECT BBQ BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and mesquite seasoning until the meat is no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease, and transfer the meat mixture to a large baking dish. Stir in the baked beans, molasses, brown sugar, barbeque sauce, dry mustard powder, and cayenne pepper, and mix until any small lumps of brown sugar have dissolved.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the beans are bubbling and the flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
