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.

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.

BARBECUE BAKED BEANS



Barbecue Baked Beans image

I've adapted this recipe from "The Barbecue Bible" by Steven Raichlin. If you like your barbecue beans on the sweet side, then these are the beans for you. I know that the list of ingredients is long, but most of them are probably already in your pantry. Don't be tempted to leave out the fresh garlic or fresh gingerroot--it makes a difference. This is mandatory with our ribs--all you need is a potato salad and coleslaw and you're all set.

Tips:

  • Start with quality ingredients: Use dry beans that have been sorted and rinsed. Look for beans that are plump and free of blemishes.
  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your baked beans a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include pinto beans, navy beans, kidney beans, and black beans.
  • Don't skimp on the bacon: Bacon is what gives baked beans their signature smoky flavor. Use a good quality bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of fat.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes baked beans special. Use a sauce that is sweet, tangy, and smoky. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender but not mushy: The ideal cooking time for baked beans is about 2 hours. However, the cooking time can vary depending on the type of beans you are using.
  • Serve the beans hot or cold: Baked beans are delicious served hot or cold. If you are serving them cold, be sure to chill them for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Garnish the beans with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme, can add a pop of color and flavor to your baked beans.

Conclusion:

Baked beans are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great addition to any potluck or barbecue. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious baked beans at home. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor, give baked beans a try.
