Why just bake beans when you can smoke 'em?

I make these about every time I run the smoker. They always turn out good.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Place the whole slab of bacon in the aluminum pan and put in the smoker for about 10-15 minutes until it's loose and floppy but not rendering out grease yet.
  2. Pull out all the bacon and set half aside for later.
  3. Chop up the remaining half into chunks and place back into pan.
  4. Chop up entire onion to little pieces and put in pan with chopped onion.
  5. Place the pan on a stove burner or smoker fire box (Med/High Heat) until the onion begins to turn translucent and the bacon is cooked down and rendering grease.
  6. Dump the can of beans in the pan on top of the onions and bacon (I don't drain the liquid gold, I leave it in).
  7. Mix thoroughly.
  8. Sprinkle the BBQ seasoning and Brown Sugar on top of the beans.
  9. Spread the remaining bacon on top of the beans in a nice bacon weave.
  10. Drizzle about 1/2 cup (or more) of Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ sauce over the bacon layer and spread thin with a spoon or knife or tree branch.
  11. Smoke until the top layer begins to caramelize and beans are hot.
