Here is another one for baked beans! You can cook them inside in the oven but if you are smoking them much better. They are really good anyway. I am not real good on measuring, I kinda add to taste, but I will try to help.
I take 3 or 4 large cans of pork and beans (just get the cheapest brand). Pour them in to silver throw-away pan. If you like onions you can finely chop some up and put them in there. I put hotdogs in it for my kids but you do not have to.
Add: 3 tablespoons mustard 5 tablespoons ketchup (or to taste) 4 to 5 tablespoons BBQ sauce lots of brown sugar (taste as you add and mix) 3 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring (or to taste)* (I prefer the hickory liquid smoke) strips of raw bacon (for top)
Mix very well (with spoon). Be sure when mixing add enough sugar, ketchup, BBQ sauce so that it is pretty runny because that will cook down and you do not want them dry. It depends on cooking time, the higher the heat the faster they will cook. Cover the top with strips of raw bacon.
Place in smoker with top uncovered NO foil. When the bacon is crispy and the edges are bubbling really good they are done. (We like ours to taste pretty smokey so after we've cooked our meat for several hours, then we put the beans on the top rack so they will be cooked by smoke only for 4-6 hours depending on heat as we continue cooking the meat.)
*Liquid smoke flavoring is great in fresh or frozen black-eyed peas with all the water being used boiled from salt pork, ham hocks, smoked neck bone (witch is the best and has most flavoring) I boil the meat in water for an hour and use that water for the peas.
Good luck! |
