Smoked Loaded Baked Beans Recipe

Step 1

Start out by browning your hamburger and partially cooking your bacon.

Step 2

*I don't fully cook my bacon because I know it will cook some in the dutch oven so know how you like your bacon and prep it accordingly*

Step 3

If you are using a cast iron dutch oven wipe it down with oil to help make sure that it is ready to cook without having stuff stick.

Step 4

Open up your cans of beans and dump them into your dutch oven.  I did strain my butter beans but the other beans I kept all the sauce.

Step 5

Add in your meat next you can drop in more bacon grease if you want to for extra flavoring.

Step 6

Next, add in the rest of your ingredients and stir everything together.

Step 7

Now I was already smoking a Brisket already that day I knew the side I would have the dutch oven would be on the hotter side of my smoker so I shortened my cook time for them.

Step 8

Fire up your smoker. I set my Pit Boss Pro 1100 to a P setting of 7 at 200 with my brisket and use Mesquite pellets when I smoked these baked beans.

Step 9

Set the full dutch oven on your smoke once your rolling smoke, without a lid so the smoke can saturate the beans.

Step 10

Stir the beans every 30 minutes.

Step 11

Allow to slow cook for 3 hours at least, longer if you are on the "not as hot" part of your smoker.

Step 12

*if cooking at a low temp on the cooler side of the smoker be sure to allow the beans to smoke for about 4 to 6 hours with the stirring.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy!
