Time 6h30m

Yield 15 , 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb navy beans
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks
5 slices bacon
6 ounces tomato paste
3 tablespoons molasses
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger

Steps:

  • Rinse beans and cook overnight on low in a slow cooker (crock pot). Rinse again and place in a large bowl.
  • Open pineapple chunks and drain (reserving liquid), add to the beans.
  • Mix tomato paste, molassas, soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, pineapple juice, garlic powder, black pepper, cinnamon and ground ginger in a small bowl then add to beans. mix to coat completely.
  • Divide the mixture between 2 baking dishes that will fit in your smoker (or in your oven).
  • Cut the bacon strips into @3/4 inch pieces then layer the top of each baking dish. Place in your smoker with the wood chips of your choice(I prefer apple) at 200 degrees until the bacon is cooked, @6 hours. PLEASE NOTE, this time is based upon my electric smoker on medium with a full water pan. If you are using an oven either place a pan of water in the oven or reduce the cooking time, to when the bacon is cooked to a golden brown.
  • Mix both batches of beans in a large covered bowl, refrigerate over night, then gently reheat and serve the next day.

Tangy Maple Baked Beans with Applewood Smoked Bacon image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 thick strips applewood smoked bacon, diced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 red onion, cut into small dice
1 green pepper, diced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 (14 1/2-ounce) cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups Carolina-style barbecue sauce
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
4 tablespoons whole grain mustard

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, add the bacon and canola oil, turn the heat to medium-high and cook the bacon until it starts to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the red onions and green pepper, season with salt and pepper and saute over medium-high heat until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbeque sauce, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the beans, about 45 minutes. Remove the lid and cook uncovered until the sauce has reduced and thickened and the flavors have developed, about 15 minutes. Just before serving, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans, such as pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans.
  • Use smoked apples: Smoked apples add a unique flavor to the baked beans. You can use store-bought smoked apples or smoke your own apples at home.
  • Add some bacon: Bacon adds a smoky and savory flavor to the baked beans.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is one of the most important ingredients in the baked beans, so make sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy.
  • Cook the baked beans low and slow: Low and slow cooking helps to develop the flavors of the beans and the sauce.
  • Serve the baked beans with your favorite sides: Baked beans are a great side dish for any occasion. Serve them with grilled chicken, pork, or fish, or with a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Smoked apple baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at the table.
