The Best BBQ Pit Baked Beans
Welcome Back Journeymen, Apprentices and BBQ Enthusiasts! After smoking 27 racks of ribs and 36 chicken quarters last weekend, I decided to take it a little easier this week with some BBQ Pit Baked Beans. Now, I'll be the first to admit that baked beans haven't always been my favorite...(Hello, poblano mac and cheese!) But this side is a close second! I especially love the ability to get creative with this recipe. Baked beans are super forgiving! This time around I added some of the leftover pork belly that I cured a few weeks ago. The chunks of pork belly helped give these beans the savory, sweet and spicy notes they truly deserved!
Here's the recipe blueprint!
Ingredients:
3/4lb Pork Belly/Bacon
2 Large Cans of @Bushbeanssocial Homestyle Baked Beans (Drained)
3/4 Chopped Sweet Onion
1 Jalapeño
BBQ Sauce of your Choice (I used my Sweet/Spicy Blend)
Recipe:
-Preheat the pit to 225 degrees (I used my @yodersmokers YS640)
Chop and fry up the pork belly
In a cast iron pan, use the pork belly as the bottom layer of your baked beans
Drain you two cans of baked beans and add them on top of the pork belly
Mix in the chopped onion and jalapeño
Add your BBQ sauce to the consistency of your liking (Thick vs. Soupy)
After one hour, bump up the temp to 275 Degrees
Your desired cook time is really dependent on how low and slow you prefer your cook
ENJOY!
There you have it! This batch could easily feed 10-12 hungry people at a barbecue!
