Here is one we use to win at BBQ competitions. It can be cooked in the oven as well but it doesn't get the smoky flavor - still great though.
BAKED BEANS
• 6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
• 1/2 Medium onion, diced
• 1/2 Bell pepper, diced
• 1 - 2 Jalapeño Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
• 1 - 55 ounce can Bush’s Baked Beans
• 1-8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
• 1 Cup ketchup
• 1/2 - 1 Tbs. dry (ground) mustard
1. Sauté bacon pieces in fry pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon.
2. Sauté onion, bell pepper and jalapeño pepper until tender.
3. In a large mixing bowl combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard.
4. Stir in bacon pieces and vegetables. Pour into a 12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. (While mixing if things look dry, add additional ketchup 1/4 -1/2 cup at a time)
5. Place in a 220-250° smoker for 2 1/2 – 3 hours (make sure temperature of the baked beans reaches 160°).
NOTE: If you are making these beans as a side dish for Kansas City style pork ribs, smoke the removed skirt meat for 1-1 1/2 hours, then dice the skirt meat and stir into the Baked Beans.
