Dear BBQ Friend:

July 4th is just around the corner, and what kind of BBQ on July 4th would be without BBQ baked beans? I did something silly about a month ago... I slapped together an amateur video about my chicken

recipe which shows you how to slow smoke chicken without the dreaded rubbery chicken skin. I'm no professional actor or narrator or anything like that, so I'm gonna tell you right up front... the video is not the best production in the world. I did manage to make the semi-finalists though. I'm sure not going to win an Academy Award for it, but I may win a $5000 check for a backyard makeover if you go to www.perfectpaircontest.com and take a look at the recipe and vote for my video. Look for the video from Bill A. Savannah, GA. Just for voting, you may win too!

Here's the prizes they are giving away for voters...

Here's a couple of great BBQ baked beans recipes....

This one is from the "Foods of the Southland" cookbook. This is a great cookbook. If you have not done so already, get yours by clicking HERE...

BBQ Baked Beans with Apples & Pulled Pork BBQ

Ingredients:

2 - 16oz cans Bush's Original Baked Beans
1 cup chopped onions
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 heaping cup of chopped tart apples
1 tsp granulated garlic
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 heaping tbsp prepared mustard
1 heaping cup of pulled pork BBQ cut into 1 inch bites
½ cup BBQ sauce
optional - add hot sauce to taste

Directions:

I use a 9x11x2" glass baking dish, sprayed lightly.
Pre-heat over to 350 deg F.

In a mixing bowl, I add everything except the BBQ and BBQ sauce. Mix and add to the baking dish. Smooth out and place BBQ on top. Brush lightly with the BBQ sauce. Then bake for about 45 minutes till good and bubbly. (You don't want it to brown).

Here's another recipe for Baked Beans:

Ingredients: bbq baked beans

2 - 16oz cans Bush's Original Baked Beans
1 green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Dry mustard
Worcestershire sauce
6 to 8 slices of bacon, chopped
Maple syrup

Directions:

Place ½ of chopped bacon in bottom of casserole. Pour 2/3 can of pork and beans into casserole. Add 1/3 of green pepper and onion. Sprinkle with dry mustard and worcestershire. Continue layers of beans and seasonings. Top with remaining bacon and pour maple syrup over all. Bake at 350 deg F for 1 hour. Serves 8.

Here's another baked beans recipe from one of my readers...

Thanks for the recipes. I have a recipe that is a little different than the one you sent. I have had rave reviews when tasted.

1 large can Bush's Original Baked Beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 green bell pepper
1 medium onion
1 cup brown sugar
handful of bacon bits and pieces (these can be found at a meat market, they are chunks of bacon both lean and fat)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup

fry bacon until done to taste, not to well done save bacon grease and cut bacon into bit size pieces
dice bell pepper and onion and saute in bacon grease until soft and drain grease off
combine bacon, bell pepper, onion, stewed tomatoes, brown sugar, white sugar, and syrup in bean pot. stir well. Cover and simmer until thick on top of stove.

I hope you try this. Oh I voted for you but was not a winner today

Here's another...

Bill,

Enjoyed your review of the 12 briskets. Notices at the bottom several websites, and one in particular, the one regarding baked beans. Went over the beans, etc. and have concluded I want to throw in something regarding baked beans.

The best beans to use are Showboat beans. Add onion, sugar, brown sugar, a little hot sauce, prepared mustard, wostershire sauce, cane or maple syrup (can even use suger free pancake syrup if you are a diabetic like me), some garlic powder or fresh garlic, and crumbled smoked meat, either beef or pork. Stir. Put in container you can put on rack in smoker under the meat being cooked and allow the drippings to go into the bean mixture. Pork drippings are best. Allow beans to smoke for at least two hours.

Try it, you may like it. Would like to know what you think. I will assure you none of Bush's beans, Grilling or whatever can hold a candle to it.

Thanks,
James
