Ingredients
  

  • 56-64 oz of canned beans 2 large cans or 4 small cans, we don’t need fancy flavored beans, we will be adding plenty of flavor.
  • 1 pound of meat: My preference is to use trimmed meat from pork ribs but you can also use browned ground beef, diced cooked ham, pulled pork or shredded brisket.
  • 1 white or yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1-2 jalapeno pepper diced, or 2-4 chipotle peppers in adobo (optional)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp of your favorite BBQ Rub
  • 1-2 cups of your favorite BBQ Sauce start with one and add more if to think
  • ¼ cup of yellow mustard
  • 2 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¼ cup of your favorite bourbon optional
  • 6 slices of thick cut bacon cut into bite sized pieces

Instructions
 

  • Prepare and start your smoker.
  • Drain all (at least most) of the liquid out of the beans.
  • Combine all of the ingredients except the bacon in a cast iron Dutch Oven or disposable aluminum 9x13 deep pan.
  • Sprinkle the bacon over the top.
  • Smoke for 3-5 hours, stirring every hour or two. If they get too thick, add a little beer or more BBQ sauce.
  • Take the beans off of the cooker and let them cool a little before serving.
