Franks' smoker beans

[MrsSmokerBuilder]

Ok first of all, if you don't have a black iron skillet sauce pan you
you can do like my ingenious hubby did and take the handle off
an aluminum saucepan of mine (sacrificed for the smoker) or just
use a casserole dish.




Other things you'll need are:
2 big cans Bush's Baked Beans Hot and Spicy
1 can black beans
3/4 C BluesHog BBQ Sauce
1/4 C brown sugar
shake of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning

Stir it all together and smoke at 225 for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Personal note: This recipe may sound spicy but it really isn't. Its one of my favs!

Thanks Lisa, I will have to try that one out. I also have used the Bush's beans but for the one can I use plain old pork and beans.

I got a chance to try your beans a few weeks ago man those were great and a huge hit with everyone Ill be doing them again for easter with the family

[Gizmo]

Thanks for the cooking tip Lisa! I'm gonna try this one....

And guys remember those 500 gallon valve covers?
trim the edge straight around the "divots" - light dusting with the sandblaster ...weld on your own steel handles....

I'm just sayin'...

Thanks Lisa!, they do look great!, and so do the spuds!

Rick, I believe you are the first one to come up with a use for the valve covers mate!

I've been accused of looking at the world from a weird angle before ...

[Smokeone]

But I like the way your thinkin!

[Gizmo]

Thanks guys - It takes some fairly warped individuals to appreciate my kind of talents...

I will tell ya, the original bush's beans or even the showboat beans are just as good. I have actually stopped using the bold and spicy ones. I also put a layer of light brown sugar over the top and then take a spoon and not stir it but push it down just enough to get the juice over the top of the sugar. smoke it for an hour or so then stir the pot. I also recommend smoking them as long as possible. the longer the smoke the better they will be. the juice will start to reduce and the beans will get softer and better. also if you put meat in the beans, don't put it in for the entire smoke. only put it in for about 1/3rd of the time. if the meat is in for too long it will become mushy.
