Smoked BBQ Beans instructions

First and foremost, prepare your smoker and bring to a solid 250°. Add several soaked chunks of your favorite hardwood, I find apple to be the best all-around smoking..
In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon pieces for 2 to 3 minutes per side, long enough to render fat, but not long enough to crisp thoroughly. Remove the bacon to a plate with a paper towel..
In the leftover bacon grease, add the onions and jalapeños and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they have softened and the onions are slightly translucent..
After onions and jalapeños are ready, add the cans of pork and beans (liquid and all) into the skillet. Add in the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, mustard, and molasses. Stir to combine. Place the slices of bacon on top of the beans..
Place skillet on smoker grate and cook uncovered for about 3 hours. Beans should be pretty thick by about that time. Remove from the smoker and serve well hot..

Carolina barbecue has a taste all its own, and these Carolina-style barbecue beans bring that Southern barbecue flavor to any cookout. Combining a can of pork and beans along with red kidney beans and lima beans provides a nice, hearty base, while the ketchup, cider vinegar, onion, butter, sugar, garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce work perfectly together to flavor the beans in true. These smoky barbecue beans aren't the over-sweet, molasses-y ones you're used to. Instead, they're deeply spiced with paprika, cumin, and plenty of black pepper, and given added depth with dried red chilies. Chunks of smoked meat (sausage, leftover barbecue, bacon, or whatever else you have on hand) add a campfire fragrance to round them out.
