Smoked meaty beans



3 – 14 oz. Cans of Bush Original Baked Beans, drained
1 lbs. Jimmy Dean “Hot Sausage” (Any flavor if you don’t like hot)
1 lbs. Hamburger
1 Diced Onion
½ Cup Diced Bell Pepper (Any Color, I like the Red or Orange for Color)
½ Cup Brown Sugar
½ Cup Maple Syrup
½ Cup BBQ Sauce
2 Tbsp. Molasses
1 hot pepper, roasted and minced

Brown sausage and hamburger, drain excess grease.
Drain beans and add all ingredients to a large foil roasting pan.
Put roasting pan in the smoker on a grate under the meat for drippings.
Lightly stir beans about every 20 – 30 minutes to incorporate smoke flavor.
Try to pull beans off the smoker after an hour and a half to 2 hours to prevent beans from going to mush.

Can be garnished with chopped bacon or pulled pork.

    I had a butt in the other smoker so this batch got a big topping of pulled pork. The bacon went on the smoked mac & cheese.

    As long as bacon is present then that's perfection.:B

    Reminds me of the Arby's commercial. If it needs a little something extra...you add bacon to it. If it's perfect just the way it is....you add bacon to it!
  • Sounds good! (like all your other recipes) Have to try it as soon as the rain stops or it gets warm enough for me to get outside. Hate the cold :(
