Quick Reference Below:

================================================== ======

Keri's Hog-Apple Baked Beans
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...07&postcount=9

3 or 4 slices bacon, diced
2 (27 oz) cans Bush's Baked Beans
1/2 c. Blues Hog BBQ Sauce (or other sweet-spicy favorite)
1 lb. smoked leftover smoked pork or beef, more or less, or 1 lb crumbled cooked pork sausage (a maple fattie is good)
1 can apple pie filling, pieces somewhat chopped up
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. Mustard (prepared)
1 tsp chipotle or cayenne powder (optional, to taste*)
1 tsp Blues Hog barbecue rub (or your favorite de jour)

Brown bacon, and saute onion and green pepper in bacon grease. Mix in remaining ingredients. Bake at 325º for 1 hour, or simmer on stovetop in large pot for 30 minutes if you don't have time to do them in the oven. Serves 12.

This recipe began life as APPLE PIE BAKED BEANS from somewhere on the web, but I think I've made enough changes to it now to claim it as my own. This is my standard for baked beans anymore. Jack's Old South does something similar to this, but I understand that they use peach pie filling instead.

*This is a rather spicy recipe due to the chipotle/cayenne powder. Feel free to leave it out if you'll be feeding those who prefer a less spicy taste.

Wampus's Peach Bourbon Baked Beans
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...19&postcount=1

2 cans (15 oz) of cooked Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
4 slices of thick sliced bacon, chopped
1 lb maple fatty (smoked ahead of time), crumbled/diced
1 med onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper (I like orange or yellow)
1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling (run knife through can to cut up larger pieces into smaller pieces)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Famous Dave's Apricot Bourbon BBQ Sauce
2 TBS worschestershire sauce
1/3 cup bourbon
1 lg clove garlic, minced
2 TBS yellow mustard
1 TBS rub (I like SM Sweet & Spicy)
1 TSP Ground Cayenne Pepper (OPTIONAL)

crumble or dice fatty and add to beans.

Brown Bacon in skillet (about 1/2 way) Add onion & pepper cook until just carmelized.
Slowly add bourbon & garlic simmer for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients to pan, mix thoroughly.
Put in pan in smoker, Smoke for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally (I smoke for 4 hours)

The only thing I don't like about this is the fact I wasn't THERE! :-D

Well done, amazing food and great way to treat your friends.

Great looking cook Kanco. Agree with you. My knowledge of smoking and grilling definitely increased once I found this site. The willingness to share is great here.
