BBQ BAKED BEANS



BBQ Baked Beans image

BBQ baked beans are a summer staple. This shortcut version relies on ordinary canned baked beans, which we dress up with fresh peppers, onions, cider vinegar and barbecue sauce. The sweet and tangy side dish is perfect for a summer barbecue, picnic, potluck or weeknight dinner. The beans taste even better the next day, so they can be prepared ahead of time and reheated or served at room temperature.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices bacon (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
Two 28-ounce cans baked beans
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons yellow mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat an oven-proof heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until the fat has started to render and the bacon is beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and bell pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the canned beans, barbecue sauce, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire, brown sugar, mustard powder, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the pot to the oven and bake (uncovered) until the sauce thickens and the beans on top begin to brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

BBQ BAKED BEANS



BBQ Baked Beans image

No Southern BBQ is complete without baked beans! Beef, peppers, onions, and a dose of Sweet BBQ Pit Sauce provide a terrific complement for smoked meats.

Provided by Sam Jones

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 3/4 cups ketchup
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, 4 oz
1 1/4 cups Water
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 large red onion
1/2 green bell pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2/3 pound ground beef, preferably 80% lean
48 ounces canned, unseasoned "pork and beans," drained, pinto beans with pork
2 cups Sweet BBQ Pit Sauce, from Step 1

Steps:

  • Sweet BBQ Pit Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the dry ingredients and mix well to break up any lumps. Add ketchup, melted butter, water, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring sauce to a simmer over low heat. Continue to simmer, stirring the entire time until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. (Keeping the heat low helps prevent the butter from separating and the sugar from burning.)
  • Sauce is done when it thinly coats a spoon and has reduced by about ⅓. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. (It will keep for months, thanks to the vinegar.) Makes about 3 cups of Sweet BBQ Pit Sauce.
  • Prepare the vegetables and beef: Trim onion and pepper, then cut into chunks. Dice using a vegetable chopper, or use a knife to small dice (¼-inch pieces). Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and pepper until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add ground beef, stir to break up meat, and continue cooking until meat is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes. Drain fat from skillet and set ground beef mixture aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, add ground beef mixture and Sweet BBQ Pit Sauce to the drained beans; stir to combine. Place in a 13x9-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until brown and bubbly, 20-30 minutes. (Alternatively, a thermometer placed into the center of the beans should register 160 F.)
  • Remove dish from oven and remove foil. Stir and serve. Note: This is a great dish to make ahead of time. Vegetable-beef mixture can be cooked and refrigerated up to two days in advance. On the day of serving, simply mix bean ingredients (Pitmaster Jones calls this a "bean set") and bake as directed. Since you're reheating meat, use a digital thermometer to make sure the beans reach 160-165 F for safe consumption.

Tips:

  • Soaking the beans overnight: This helps to reduce the cooking time and makes the beans more tender. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2-3 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Using a variety of beans: This adds flavor and texture to the dish. You can use any type of beans you like, but some good options include pinto beans, navy beans, black beans, and kidney beans.
  • Seasoning the beans well: This is important to give the beans flavor. Be sure to use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and cumin.
  • Cooking the beans until they are tender: This can take some time, but it's important to cook the beans until they are fully tender. Otherwise, they will be tough and unpleasant to eat.
  • Adding a sweetener: This helps to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar. You can use any type of sweetener you like, such as sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Using a variety of toppings: This adds flavor and texture to the dish. You can use any type of toppings you like, such as bacon, sausage, onions, peppers, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Barbecue baked beans are a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the best barbecue baked beans that your friends and family will love. So next time you're having a cookout, be sure to give this recipe a try!
