If you love beans, you’ll absolutely fall in love with these Smoked Baked Beans! Packed with flavor, cooked low and slow….this dish will be the hit of any gathering!
Last week, my hubby made the ultimate summer dinner. Yes, technically it is still Spring, but now that we’re all quarantined, who knows what season it is these days, right?!
We had my hubby’s ULTIMATE burgers (recipe coming soon), these Smoked Baked Beans, and corn on the cob. That just screams summer, doesn’t it?
I must say, I make a good BBQ Baked Beans dish, so when he mentioned wanting to experiment and make something for the smoker, I was slightly hesitant. Why change something that is already a winner, right? Well, in this case, WRONG!
The flavor of these beans were incredible and I didn’t even have to do any work! My hubby prepared these in less than 10 minutes, placed them on the smoker to cook low and slow, and BAM…..they were ready to enjoy with our burgers!
Next time, I think we will add even more jalapeno slices in because we LOVE heat. We scaled back a bit because the kids don’t get too excited about anything spicy and we weren’t sure what kind of heat these would have. You can add in more bacon slices, or just about anything you prefer!
Next BBQ you have (or go to), definitely add these Smoked Baked Beans to the meal plan! Your guests and you will be glad you did and leftovers….well, I don’t think there will be any!
