Also, I thought this thread was going to be about something totally different......

After all, it is carnival time in the big easy:toast:

Making some babybacks, a pork shoulder and some beans on the smoker tomorrow afternoon/evening.

:00hour

The shoulder and ribs are rubbed and are all ready in the fridge.

These are the beans that I just prepared. I've never made them before but they are very popular on the smoking forum I read.

WICKED BAKED BEANS
(Beans that will even make Chili Heads happy)

6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
1/2 Medium onion, diced
1/2 Bell pepper, diced
1 - 2 Jalapeno Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
1 - 55 ounce can Bushs Baked Beans
1-8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained
1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Cup ketchup
1/2 - 1 Tbs. dry (ground) mustard

Saute bacon pieces in fry pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Saute onion, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper until tender.

In a large mixing bowl combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard. Stir in bacon pieces and vegetables. Pour into a 12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. (While mixing if things look dry, add additional ketchup 1/4 -1/2 cup at a time)

Place in a 220-250? smoker for 2 1/2 - 3 hours (make sure temperature of the baked beans reaches 160? ) or place in a 350? oven and bake for 1 hour.

NOTE: If you are making these beans as a side dish for Kansas City style pork ribs, smoke the removed skirt meat for 1-1 1/2 hours, then dice the skirt meat and stir into the Baked Beans.

DISCLAIMER

With the Jalapeno pepper and the dry mustard these beans have the potential for some MAJOR heat. CAUTION should be exercised when feeding these beans to small children and/or the elderly.

To make this recipe Family Friendly, omit the Jalapeno pepper and the dry mustard.


Saving the drinking though until I get to Lambeau...

Best recipe in the history of this site, IMO.

Eating them now and the only thing I did different is add a half cup of Sweet Baby Rays.

These blow my ribs away.

And I don't really care for beans!

I think these beans will be the first thing I treat myself too after this bet is over. That and about 12 beers...

I'm glad yours turned out so well and I'll try the Sweet Baby Rays next time.

Big hit today. I took all the credit.

Thanks!

 

[THE KOD]

The pork butt will stay on until 10pm. That will have been 8 hours.

At that point I will foil (twice) and throw in a cooler full of towels until morning.


When I get up around 6am that thing will be fall apart tender and still piping hot.

so you just put it in a cooler with towels ?

Did you use the mustard and jalapeno?

There was some heat, but its covered by all the sweet. My Mom didn't like it, but everyone else raved.

Gonna make these today.

Once again, THIS makes the big hit! These beans are unbelieveable. No pineapple, half ketchup and half your fave BBQ sauce, and about 4 ounces of Zesty Pickle juice :0074
