I don't think this place should be without Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans. These continue to be one of the most requested sides that I get when having folx over for Q.

WICKED BAKED BEANS
(Beans that will even make Chili Heads happy)

6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
1/2 Medium onion, diced
1/2 Bell pepper, diced
1 - 2 Jalapeño Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
1 - 55 ounce can Bush’s Baked Beans
1-8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained
1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Cup ketchup
1/2 - 1 Tbs. dry (ground) mustard

Sauté bacon pieces in fry pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Sauté onion, bell pepper and jalapeño pepper until tender.

In a large mixing bowl combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard. Stir in bacon pieces and vegetables. Pour into a 12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. (While mixing if things look dry, add additional ketchup 1/4 -1/2 cup at a time)

Place in a 220-250° smoker for 2 1/2 – 3 hours (make sure temperature of the baked beans reaches 160° ) or place in a 350° oven and bake for 1 hour.

NOTE: If you are making these beans as a side dish for Kansas City style pork ribs, smoke the removed skirt meat for 1-1 1/2 hours, then dice the skirt meat and stir into the Baked Beans.

DISCLAIMER

With the Jalapeño pepper and the dry mustard these beans have the potential for some MAJOR heat. CAUTION should be exercised when feeding these beans to small children and/or the elderly.

To make this recipe Family Friendly, omit the Jalapeño pepper and the dry mustard.

Nice to see my Wicked Baked Beans made it to this forum long before I did! Like Grandma always said-"Can't keep a good thing hidden for long"!:whoo:

Dutch,

I'm thinking your beans have made it to EVERY smoking forum on line!

poi-nts fer your beans

The last time someone requested the recipe from me I told them just type it in your web search bar. sure enough it came up for them and they printed it out.

That about says it all!

looking at that tray of beans - them look like pinto beans to me.
Over here I think baked beans are haricot beans. They're bright orange and smaller than that for sure.

I have now got some pinto beans - anyone ever made these from scratch - ie: without using tinned beans and if so, got a recipe ?

Try this CA- Follow the orginal recipe but do the following for the dry pinto beans.

1 cup of dry beans will yield 2 -2 1/2 cups of cooked beans. 1/4 cup of cooked beans is 1 serving.

Soak pinto beans over night or boil for 1 minute then let sit covered for one hour.

Drain soak water from beans and add the 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until beans are tender – about 1 1/2 -2 hours. Drain well.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well. .

If you are going to smoke the beans, pour bean mixture into a 9 X11 X 2 3/4 inch foil pan and place in smoker. Give the beans a stir several times through out the smoke.

I wasn't sure if this recipe was here. I found it at another site. :eek:

Anyway, I made some a while back for the people at work. They loved it. We have another pot luck tomorrow, and had requests. So, I have a double batch of them cooking right now. Not able to smoke it, but it'll still go over great.

All I can say is, thanks Dutch! The wicked baked beans is great.

Hi Dutch...
Been using your WICKED BAKED BEANS for a year at all my BBQ's with family.
They love them...
We usually dont have all the same spices so sometime we add or dont use one or two. still turns out GREAT...

We add more and more Jalapeño Peppers as we get really old or weak pepper up to three now and the fam does not like HOT stuff.

Hi CA,
Try using cannellini beans, or any creamy white bean.
Our Bush’s Baked Beans are like your Heinz beans you have for breakfest only Bush's is sweeter and usually has bacon in it.
You could use your Heinz and with all the other stuff you it would have enough sweet and flavor.

Yep Jerry, them beans are great any which way you make them. Some mornings, Ma Dutch will throw a small batch together in the crock pot before she goes to work and then turn the pot to "warm" when she gets home and they're ready to plate up along side some left over 'que or just off the grill steaks or thick cut pork chops.

The last bunch of Jalapenos I got were so mild I thought I was using Tam Jalapenos-No heat at all in those things. I ended up putting some Frank's Red Hot in that batch of beans just to add heat to 'em!

Glad you folks are enjoying them!

Hey there Dutch. Making your beans next week for the end-of-year wrestling meeting/potluck. Surely to be a hit. :thumb:

I like Dutch's Wicked Beans on occasion. Any occasion.:whistle::hail:

Yep they are always a hit!

I've made these beans for the last 2 years when we have people over for a cookout or sporting events like the Super Bowl. They always have been a huge hit with friends and family, in fact, people are now requesting them when they get invited. Thanks Dutch, you have made entertaining much simpler. :thumb:

golly i need to fix some of these this weekend too :thumb:

*Bump

for Smoke'n Hebrew :thumb:

Them's my favorite!!! People like the beans better than the bbq at times!!!

Made up a batch of these for Christmas dinner. They were a big hit and i will be making them again soon.

I have had people eat these instead of dessert! I don't fire Black Betty up with out them.

I have made these often. I have deviated from the original recipe to where I'm adding molasses, ancho chilies in adobo sauce, sweet chili powder, honey etc. Pulled pork added in these is outstanding!! :drooling:

Like many others have said I get alot of compliments on these. To the point where people make me feel like my ribs are the side dish and the beans are the main course :lol:

"Those beans are AWESOME!.....ribs aren't bad either" :whistle:

I've been using Barbecue Universties "Best Barbequed Beans on the Planet" recipe for years and gotten rave reviews and requests, now I'm gonna have a throw down and try these. Seems way simpler, and just as tasty looking. I'll try to let y'all know how the throw down goes. I do love me some black beans and man that 'que sauce in the beans is killer. But I'm new around here and from all I'm picking up realize I need to keep an open mind.

Made these today, reallllly good - had to cut the sweet with some apple cider vinegar. Nice recipe :thumb:
