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.
