Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices thick cut peppered bacon halved
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 jalapenos or 1/2 green bell pepper for less heat seeds and stems removed, diced
  • 1 28 oz cans pork and beans
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoons Duck Butter purchase here
  • 1 Tablespoons molasses

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F using any mild or fruit wood. (Pecan is a good choice)
  • Preheat a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Cook the bacon pieces for 2-3 minutes per side. Long enough to render fat, but not long enough to crisp thoroughly.
  • Remove the bacon pieces to a plate with a paper towel on top so they can drain. Leave the bacon grease in the pan and add the onions and jalapenos. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they have softened and the onions are slightly translucent.
  • Pour the cans of beans (liquid and all) into the pan. Add in the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and molasses. Stir to combine.
  • Crumble some of the bacon into the beans - place a couple slices of bacon on top of the beans and head out to the smoker..
  • Smoke, uncovered, for about 3 hours, or until nearly all of the fat has rendered from the bacon and the beans have thickened up nicely. Remove from the smoker and serve while warm.
