Cost: $
Ingredients
- 1 package Thick-Cut Bacon
- 1 cup chopped Onion
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 2 cans (28 oz each) Baked Beans
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Liquid Smoke
- Brown Sugar (to taste)
Instructions
- Cut the thick-cut bacon into bite-sized pieces using kitchen shears or a knife. Cook the bacon on the grill until crispy, rendering flavorful bacon fat.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the bacon fat. Sauté until the onions are translucent, absorbing the delicious smokiness.
- Pour in two cans of baked beans (liquid included) into the cast iron over direct heat. Add BBQ sauce, ketchup, and chili powder. Stir to combine.
- Enhance the smokiness by adding a teaspoon of liquid smoke. Adjust the quantity based on your preference.
- Add brown sugar to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness. Start with a handful and adjust to taste. Remember, this is where you can tailor the flavor to your liking.
- Allow the beans to simmer on indirect heat, absorbing the smoky essence. The cast iron skillet holds the heat, creating a slow-cooking effect.
- After 20-25 minutes, open the lid to reveal a pot of beautifully simmered BBQ baked beans.
