Just mixed up a batch of these for the first time for a cookout this afternoon. They smell awesome already. I can't imagine how good they're going to be after cooking for an hour.

EDIT: Great stuff. Even the "I don't like beans" people loved 'em.

BE STILL MY HEART

OMG........

I built a batch of these and they were sooooooooo good that I kept looking over my shoulder for the FOOD POLICE....

this recipe SHOULD BE ILLEGAL

I know there are a lot of great recipes on this site, but DAMN, serve this one at YOUR OWN RISK...

I, being the slimbag that I am, told everyone that it was MY SECRET BAKED BEAN RECIPE....

OK, so I lied..... but that is my story and I am going to stick to it.

I made a double batch of these for a 4th of July party. GONE! Lots of folks asking for the recipe. I smoked a couple of fatties with some chicken thighs a few days before just so I could incorporate that fattie goodness into this great recipe.
Oh, and a crock pot works well for this too.

Keri, I brought these in to a work function a month or so ago, now I cam commanded to bring them in again today! I used brisket point from my cook last Saturday for the meat portion...these beans always please!


ETA: Well I brought a 5 quart crock pot full, and it is now empty!

I made these yesterday, had to improvise a bit because some of the ingredients aren't readily availably on this side of the pond.

I used Bush beans that I got as a gift from a member of the Dutch BBQ forum so I was lucky there. We don't have any apple pie filling in cans or glass jars, so I used coarse apple sauce for that.

Smoked them 2 hours in my WSM with hickory wood.

The end result was fantastic, best beans I've made so far, nice and spice, but not too hot, sweet, just perfect!

Thanks for this recipe, Keri!!

I have made these couple of times using bacon without any other meat. This must be one of the best (side)dishes I've ever tasted. Thanks for sharing.

Made a batch of these this weekend with some leftover pulled pork from the prior weekend. We used Big Rick's bbq sauce with them (excellent sweet with a spicy follow up) and they were excellent. Almost more like a chili it was so thick and meaty. Excellent recipe, will definitely make again. Matter of fact, I saved the point from my high heat brisket this weekend. This would go perfect in the beans...

I'm a big fan of these beans, just like everyone else.
I've been asked to cater the Black Friday Employee Lunch at work, and I'm making this recipe for 30 people.
I'll triple all the ingredients, but my main question is:
How much is this going to make? What volume serving pan should I get? 1 Gal, 2 Gal??

the last batch of these i did i took a jimmy dean maple sausage roll and rubbed with wolfe rub and smoked with hickory. then i chunked it up into the beans.i also used the wolfe rub and sweet baby ray's for the sauce best batch yet and i plan to do it again tomorrow.

Made these yesterday with Sweet Baby Rays Sweet and Spicy sauce and Chorizo sausage. Tasty, tasty, tasty.

Making some beanie weenies with the left overs for lunch this wee.
