Smoke more than just meat in your drum cooker. Try these sweet and salty baked beans with bacon, onions and dark brown sugar. Smoked to perfection.
Pit Barrel Cooker Co.
Ingredients
4 strips bacon
2 red onions, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (16 oz size) baked beans
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
¾ cup ketchup
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp dry mustard
½ tsp white pepper, ground fresh
1 tbsp All-Purpose Pit Rub
Directions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the strips to drain on paper towels, let cool, then chop into small pieces.
Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the pan.
Add the onions to the pan and cook until they are just softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook 2 minutes longer.
Combine the onion mixture and the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix well.
Pour the bean mixture into a 2-quart baking dish.
Light your Pit Barrel® according to the instructions and install the grill grate.
Tip: Use our Hinged Grill Grate to easily hang meat and cook sides at the same time.Cook on the grill grate 2½ hours, or until the top is browned and bubbly.
