Spiced up Baked Beans
Grumpy's take on this spicy popular side dish either smoked or baked in the oven. I prefer to use the smoker for that awesome smoked flavor.
Ingredients
- 10 slices Bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 large red onion finely diced
- 3 large Jalapeno 2 finely diced 1 sliced
- 54 oz Pinto beans cooked and drained
- 4 tbsp Grumpy Spicy BBQ sauce or equivalent
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2/3 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dried mustard
- 1 tsp cayenne
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven o 325 degrees F and adjust oven rack to the lower-middle position. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.To a large, deep skillet, heat bacon pieces over MED heat until cooked about halfway through. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, leaving grease in the skillet.To same skillet with the bacon grease, add onion and jalapeño and saute about 5 minutes, until softened. Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. Let mixture cook for a minute or so to combine the flavors.Carefully pour beans into prepared baking dish and lay cooked bacon pieces on top of the beans. Bake for 1 hour or smoke for 2 hours, until bubbly and thickened to your liking. Let beans stand 5 minutes or so before serving.Garnish with jalapeño slices.
