The ULTIMATE Easy BBQ Baked Beans recipe
Growing up, my mom used to make these beans for any parties, BBQ’s, picnics, etc. Every time she would make these, I would always scoop tons onto my plate. They have definitely been a favorite of mine for years!!
Not only are these packed with flavor, but they are incredibly simple to make as well. The great part is, these can be prepped ahead of time and put into the refrigerator. Once needed, pop into the oven and they are ready in no time!
This recipe can be doubled and put into a 9×13 baking pan if serving a lot of people or kept as is and made in an 8×8 pan, your choice!

Tips for the BEST BBQ Baked Beans
Don’t skimp on the beans! Use a good, quality canned bean such as Bush’s. You can pick any flavor they offer, but Bush’s brand is packed with flavor as is, so once you add the extra ingredients to them, you’ll have a mouthwatering dish!
Don’t forget to drain the cans of beans a bit prior to adding them to the dish. This will help avoid runny beans, which can be hard to scoop!
Cook low and slow! If you get in a bind and need to cook these for a shorter duration, that works, but trust the time and allow the flavors to truly meld together!
Don’t be afraid to add in extra additions! Extra bacon (perhaps even jalapeno flavored), onions, jalapenos, green onions on top, etc.
