How to Cook the Best BBQ Bacon Baked Beans

I found this delicious BBQ Bacon Baked Beans by BBQ Pit Boys and decided to try it out. This is one of the dishes that I served during Labor Day. Since we live in the South (Louisiana), among the specialties are anything with Cajun, barbecue, and beans! Of course, bacon will always be a staple in American dishes. This dish is the epitome of a hardworking laborer’s meal, thus, I decided that this would be best for our Labor Day cookout.

My husband brought out the smoker and had already started the Tri-tip Roast. He is now preparing a delicious salad. We assigned the kids to take care of setting up the dining area. They were busy blowing up balloons and arranging the chairs and tables in the backyard.

Let’s Party with Baked Beans!

The BBQ Bacon Baked Beans were ready just when our guests started arriving. When we opened the smoker, we could smell that delicious mix of BBQ, bacon, beans and spices! We popped open champagne bottles and had a great time with family and friends!

What makes this dish unique is the interplay of different flavors. Plus, you can customize it to your preference. You can even use the leftovers for burritos or tacos. I like mine spicy, and some of my friends do, too. Hot pepper sauce is the perfect condiment to this BBQ Bacon Baked Beans.

Oh, and you know what? You can also recycle the leftovers to make chili and use it for hotdog toppings. You see, this dish is very versatile so don’t worry about cooking too much. You can even get creative and make some soup!

Here is the final product — Mouthwatering, isn’t it?
