Ingredients
I use a gallon can of Busch's Baked Beans. Cut up about 1 lb. of Bacon. 6-8 Jalapeno Peppers for 1 lb. of Beans If you want the beans spicy, do not take out the seeds and stems. Diced. Dice 1 large, sweet Onion. Add 1/2 cup Brown Sugar. 1 lb bacon (top) Jack Daniels and honey (or BBQ sauce and mustard (1/4 cup, 2/3 bbq 1/3 mustard)) (Optional 1-2 cups sharp cheddar cubed)
Method
Pour beans into smoking dish Cut up first lb of bacon. Render the Bacon in cast iron skillet if you have one. Do not Render so much that the Bacon turns crispy, but close!!!! After your Bacon is rendered, add the Onion and Peppers in with bacon, grease and all and saut� until Onions are translucent. Add 1/2 cup Brown Sugar. Add to beans and mix well, if using cheese add it. Lay full bacon strips on top to loosely cover. Drizzle a 50/50 mix of honey/JD or BBQ sauce on Top. Place is smoker (under meats to let the drippings add in). Whnt the bacon is done, the beans are done. Remove bacon on top, chop and add back in.
