6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
1/2 Medium onion, diced
1/2 Bell pepper, diced
1 - 2 Jalapeano Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
1 - 55 ounce can Bushs?s 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 jalapeano 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.


DISCLAIMER

With the Jalapeano 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 Jalapeano pepper and the dry mustard.

That reciepe is one that I found on a smoking website I like.

If you don't have a smoker you could use any type of grill or even your oven.

Toastonastick posted this recipe and I have fixed it many times with excellent reviews.First time I fixed it I left out the Jalapeno peppers since then there a must. Should be great with ham.

Simple appetizer

Buffalo shrimp.

Pick and peel two pounds of shrimp. 26-30 for ten bucks at Acme this week (2lbs easy peels). Put flour in a ziplock bag or a simple bag of some sort. Throw some shrimp in and shake the bag. Pick them out of the flour and deep fry them. Put ur buffalo sauce in a big bowl and throw the fried shrimp in the bowl and put a lid on it. Shake them up. Um um. Not that hard to make. No egg needed for the flour coating. Just straight up flour.

Cocktail sauce mix
Ketchup, horseradish, and old bay mixed together.
