HELP!! I think I screwed up!!

[khs282]

I am making baked beans from scratch. I did this last year too, but I could not find my notes from last year. Anyway, I presoaked the beans like you're supposed to, but I did not cook them before mixing them with other ingredients and sauce. If I remember right, now, I pre-cooked the beans last year. Did I screw up? If so, can it still be saved? Maybe longer time on the smoker? Any help is greatly appreciated!:doh:

As long as you didn't add any salt you'll be fine cook 'em at a simmer . salt makes beans tough and boilin pisses 'em off and makes them tough as well.

I was planning on putting them on the smoker. Should I simmer on stove first? If so, how long should that take?

I'd simmer on the stove for an hr or two bring them up to a low boil then back off the gas to a simmer. it will cut down on the coo time on the pit

+1 on Bludawg's advice. Worse case scenario is that you're up all night with a wee bit o' gas pains :shocked:
