Perfect for your summer cookout! I’ve always made these beans in either the oven or slow cooker. But yesterday I was already cooking on the smoker so I figured...why not?! And man am I happy I did! It will be hard to make these beans without a smoker from this point on! (Note: Don't assume this is a spicy recipe because of the jalapeños. It is all about the flavor! It actually has very little spiciness at all!) #mycookbook

Steps

3 hours 30 mins

1

First and foremost, prepare your smoker and bring to a solid 250°. Add several soaked chunks of your favorite hardwood, I find apple to be the best all-around smoking.
2

In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon pieces for 2 to 3 minutes per side, long enough to render fat, but not long enough to crisp thoroughly. Remove the bacon to a plate with a paper towel.
3

In the leftover bacon grease, add the onions and jalapeños and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they have softened and the onions are slightly translucent.
4

After onions and jalapeños are ready, add the cans of pork and beans (liquid and all) into the skillet. Add in the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, mustard, and molasses. Stir to combine. Place the slices of bacon on top of the beans.
5

Place skillet on smoker grate and cook uncovered for about 3 hours. Beans should be pretty thick by about that time. Remove from the smoker and serve well hot.

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
