baked beans are
the perfect side
for any smoked food
but listen
why eat it straight out of a can
when you can make them like this
let's start a campaign
i want to make baked beans great again
i'm really excited about today's video
i hope you are too
so without further ado let's just get right into it
so the very first thing that we are going to do today is
we are going to chop up our bacon and get it in a cast iron skillet
so what we have here is about one pound of bacon
and what i want to do is i just want to cut them into little strips
this will make them cook a lot easier and faster in the pan
and that's basically what we're going for
super easy super simple today
i'm using about one pound of bacon
and this is actually already smoked bacon
so this is just gonna really add to our flavor profile
it's gonna make these barbecued baked beans
super awesome, super amazing
i'm fat and hungry i hope you are too
so chop up the rest of your bacon and let's get on to our next step
now that our bacon is all chopped up
it's time to get it into our cast iron skillet
so get your cast iron and just get a little bit of oil in there
now that your cast iron is nice and hot
it's time to just throw your bacon right in the pan
now the goal here is just to get this all spread apart
and we just want to cook this down so it's really nice and good
it's gonna take about a good couple minutes
so you know just relax, enjoy your time,
let this bacon get nice and seared up and we'll start to stir it around
all right guys so we're about halfway done
i want this bacon to get really really crunchy
because everything else is gonna be really soft
like our beans and our onions
so i definitely want there to be
a little bit of contrast in the texture in this
so i'm taking this bacon full crispy mode
as you guys can see our bacon is super super nice and crispy
this is the way that i want to look
so let's go ahead and get it off into our bowl
now we're gonna be adding in one yellow onion into our bacon grease
our goal here is just to stir this up, get it fried up real nice
it'll start to caramelize. this will only take about two minutes
as you guys can see
this is starting to take on a lot of that color already
just in a matter of being in the pan for just a few seconds
i mean look at this i mean this is what you want
this is what it's going to add flavor
this is the point that you want to go ahead and take it off
i'll see you guys in a few minutes
so now that your yellow onion is cooked
and your bacon is cooked
and you set off the smoke alarm
and you really made angry everybody in your house
you woke up the baby
the dog's mad, he's freaking out
smoke alarms... nobody likes them until you need them, i guess.
anyways. you got that stuff cooked,
now we're on to this part
this is what i'm using today
i'm using this whole entire can
so this thing is huge it's literally probably the size of my head
i could put it on my head and it stays there because it's empty
so this will make a lot
don't be intimidated by this
when you guys make this you should make the whole entire can
just the same way that i am
and you're obviously not going to eat it all but you could freeze this
and the next time that you cook chicken or you cook brisket or ribs
pull them out that's what we do, it saves so much time
because it's a lot of work to make this
and you might as well make a whole bunch at one time and then freeze it
this can was like six dollars at sam's club
then all these ingredients, this is maybe like a 15 20 thing tops probably not even that so make a whole bunch of this and then freeze it and you can reuse it so the first thing that we're gonna be doing today is adding in two cups of barbecue sauce and then whenever you dump barbecue sauce out of these bowls there's always a little bit on the edge
i'm gonna come just look it up oh my gosh dude this is sweet baby raised by the way just use
something simple lovely baby rays really good now we're going to be adding in a cup and a half of
brown sugar next we're going to be adding in our bacon then we're going to be adding in our sauteed
onions then i'm going to be adding in about a good couple splashes of worcestershire next thing we're
adding is half a cup of ketchup first i'm going to go ahead now and mix this until everything
is well incorporated make sure you break down your brown sugar i should have did that before
so a little tidbit to you guys maybe break up your brown sugar before you mix it with everything else
all right we're gonna go ahead and probably call this good so it's time to get it out on our smoker
but before we do you know i was thinking this is my video i could do whatever i want and this is
already fully cooked i mean the only thing we're doing is just getting some smoke in it it's gonna
break down some of the sauces become a little bit more bubbly just gonna really make mix all
these flavors together really good it's gonna cook in that brown sugar it's gonna do lots of
amazing things but why can't i try a little bit right now this is like a little bit of a pre-game
you know like you tailgate at like a football stadium or something you drink before you go and
drink well why can't i bean before i beat i make that a thing you gotta bean before you bean so
don't tell anybody about this i'm gonna shut up let's get it on the smoker just go ahead and get
your barbecued baked beans and just get them on the smoker we're just going to put these things
asleep let them rest out for about an hour hour and a half hey guys so these barbecued baked beans
have been on our pit boss austin xl for a total of 90 minutes let's open this bad boy up and see what
we look like oh my gosh would you look at these this looks so nuts let's get this inside and give
it a taste okay you guys we are back inside now we have our barbecued baked beans off of the pit boss
take a look at how epic these turned out you know what guys i was starting to dot myself
but i think that we're actually making baked beans great again and i'm happy to say that
we just let it rest and cool you know we took a couple pictures all that good stuff that we
do behind the scenes so now there's nothing really left to do other than to take a bite
this video is short enough that if you really want to you could skip back probably just two
three minutes and watch how i made this again so i'm not really going to do a recap all right so
i'm going to go ahead and find a little bit here that has a lot of bacon and i think this little
bite looks really good to me all right guys here we go and i just wanted to say before i take this
bite we just recently hit a thousand subscribers it's really awesome means a lot to me i just want
to say thank you guys you guys keep watching and enjoying these videos commenting down below
it really encourages me to create more of these and you guys are kind of the inspiration behind
what i do so just wanted to say thank you really is all and i guess to that i'll cheers you guys
here if you're watching this video take your beans put them up to the camera cheers and let's go
i'm gonna go ahead and get one more bite
if i was to be eating this next to like nice rack of ribs right now this will be perfectly completed
you guys really need to make this recipe i say this in every single one of my videos i know
it gets old but you really need to make this i would recommend making this big huge pan like this
and we're honestly going to be able to freeze so much of this this will probably
serve as like sides in our family for the next like at least five to ten barbecues
that i do like if i make some like barbecue chicken or some ribs or some pulled pork like
this is gonna be lasting me probably honestly like another month or two so this is great super cheap
budget friendly make a whole bunch at one time then you guys will be set for i don't know maybe
almost the whole summer and if you guys are not subscribed yet make sure you hit the subscribe
