Ribs and Beans

Tonight's Dinner Baby backs with Jim's Rub Mix and
Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans" (just love these)

All in for 2 hours of hickory



Ribs finished after 3-2-1 method



Not sure if the recipe for the beans was posted here

Dutch's WICKED BAKED BEANS
(Beans that will even make Chili Heads happy)

6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
1/2 Medium onion, diced
1/2 Bell pepper, diced
1 - 2 Jalapeño Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
1 - 55 ounce can Bush's Baked Beans
1-8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained
1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Cup ketchup
1/2 - 1 Tbs. dry (ground) mustard

Sauté bacon pieces in fry pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Sauté onion, bell pepper and jalapeño pepper until tender.

In a large mixing bowl combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard. Stir in bacon pieces and vegetables. Pour into a 12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. (While mixing if things look dry, add additional ketchup 1/4 -1/2 cup at a time)

Place in a 220-250° smoker for 2 1/2 – 3 hours (make sure temperature of the baked beans reaches 160° ) or place in a 350° oven and bake for 1 hour.


DISCLAIMER

With the Jalapeño pepper and the dry mustard these beans have the potential for some MAJOR heat. CAUTION should be exercised when feeding these beans to small children and/or the elderly.

To make this recipe Family Friendly, omit the Jalapeño pepper and the dry mustard

I definitely will be trying that bean recipe soon.  Does having them in the smoker increase rib cooking time at all?

[Smoke some]

When I'm smoking beans or Chile I usually fire up the smoker 1 hour ahead
Of time with a higher temp setting and put beans in on bottom rack.
(Preheat) no smoke

Usually takes at least this long to bring ribs up to room temperature after
A night in the fridge.

When ribs reach room temp, in they go to join the preheated beans.
I set the temp for ribs and the smoking starts.


I take the beans out after the first 3 hours are done on the ribs.
No more juices to catch in the bean pot when the ribs are wrapped in tin foil.

A recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation.  ;D
