I've made these twice in one week, and they've been huge hits each time around.

Thanks for this great recipe, Keri!

My wife is out of town this week, so I'm bach-ing it. I decided I wanted to make dinner easy, so yesterday I smoked a 13 lb packer and these beans (I halved the recipe).

I ate a quarter of the pan of beans and only had two slices of brisket.

My God, these beans are nothing short of fantastic.

Dan, when did you put the beans on? Based on the temp of the butt? I assume lower rack

I didn't do a butt, I did a brisket. When I pulled the beef off the smoker, I guessed at roughly 8 ounces of meat and chopped it up, added to the beans, wrapped the rest in foil, and baked the beans in my oven.

I didn't consider putting the pan of beans in the smoker, but I'm sure it would be good. My wife would kill me though - I baked the beans in her treasured stoneware.

I just made these beans for a "trial run", as I will be bringing them to a block party this weekend and I wanted to make sure I would be able to do it right.

Keri, these are the BEST beans I have ever had!!!
Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I'd like to take these to a party this weekend.
If I cooked them in a foil pan and covered the pan with foil, how long could I keep them warm in a cooler? A lot of other people will be bringing side dishes and I dont't know if I'll have access to electric.

I posted this question over in the barbecue forum and got a couple of replies. I think I'll cook the baked beans in a foil pan and pack them hot in a cooler just before I leave. Serving time should be within 2 hours.

Randy - that should work out for you (less than two hours) but make sure you keep a probe in there and keep track of the temperature. If the temp drops into the danger zone, you should serve it with in four hours to be on the safe side.

I'd just like to post my appreciation for this recipe one more time. I have made these beans 3 times now and I've heard them rated the best beans ever tasted on many accounts. Thank you so much for the recipe.

Try it with a lb. of diced bacon!

Made a double batch of these beans this weekend. Big hit! Too sweet for me but my guests loved em. Thanks!

I finally tried this over the weekend to go with my 11.5 pound brisket. All I can say is wow. We all ate the beans as a meal the next day over corn bread. Best beans I've ever eaten. Thanks for the recipe.

I thought the same thing the first time I made them. So I use half the can of apple pie filling.

I have made these many times and have only had a couple of people say they did not like them and that was because they are to hot for them.

With Thanksgiving tomorrow I give thanks to Keri for posting this bean recipe.
Thank you Keri,
