Bourbon Barbecue Slow Cooker Beans image

I am asked to bring these 'trucker beans' to almost every summer bbq! Rich, meaty and satisfying. These beans make a great side dish, are perfect to bring to a pot luck picnic, or hearty enough to be eaten as a meal.

Time 10h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (16 ounce) package dry 15 bean mix for soup
1 bay leaf
1 pound bacon
1 pound ground beef
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 (10.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) bottle hickory flavored barbeque sauce (such as Open Pit®)
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup real maple syrup
⅔ cup bourbon whiskey
3 tablespoons coarse-grain mustard

Steps:

  • Rinse the beans, and place in a very large pot. Cover beans with water, add the bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Simmer until all of the water is absorbed, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Place the chopped bacon in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Return the skillet to the heat, and add the ground beef; cook until the beef is cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes. Drain fat.
  • Combine the beans, bacon, ground beef, sliced kielbasa, onion, green pepper, red pepper, chicken broth, barbeque sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, maple syrup, bourbon, and mustard in the crock of a slow cooker, and stir well to combine. Turn the slow cooker to Low heat, and cook until the beans are tender, 8 to 10 hours.

I think this recipe would be even better if it was made with fresh beans instead of canned beans.

I wasn't a fan of the texture of these beans. They were a bit too mushy for my taste.

The beans took longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to leave them in the slow cooker for an extra hour.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.
