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

I love a good crisp tender sautéed green bean but this isn’t that. This is old fashioned southern smoky green beans done so easy it’s almost embarrassing. It starts with regular old canned green beans but tastes slow cooked. Make enough for tmrw because it’s better the next day. If you reeeeeally wanna make this southern, add small new potatoes (small red potatoes).

I was in the mood for red beans but couldn't find them. What better substitute than pinto beans.

One of my favorite beans to work with, so flavorful on its own and easy to cook.The nutrient-dense adzuki is one of the simplest legumes to digest, boasting the highest amount of heart-healthy protein (17 grams per cup) and the lowest fat content of all the beans. A superb source of soluble fiber, the almighty hardworking adzuki helps eliminate waste and LDL (the bad cholesterol) in your blood.

I needed something to do with my leftover Easter Ham... A few days after Easter I make potato salad, ( because I had leftover Colored Easter eggs see smoked potato salad recipe.) and hot dogs , this year I found away to use my ham in some baked beans. Yes I also smoked my hotdogs, look for that recipe coming up soon. So I had a cook out just a few days after Easter that has slowly became Family tradition just to uses most of the Easter leftovers ,this year I changed it and used the smoker instead.

i just made it for my kids on cold winter days.

when you're on the go like me and don't really have time to prepare dried beans, this is a quick alternative version!
