Tired of BBQ beans....

Doug Crann · 12-06-2015, 10:48 PM

.....make them once every ten days or so. Made some today, same as usual. Bush Beans, think they are baked. Half cop of molasses, onions, green onions, cilantro, some bacon and half a shot glass of my home brewed rub. Cook them in the Egg. Add a couple hits of beer if they render to far. Just seem like they are bland. Hmmm...

Any suggestions?

Switch to Mac and Cheese

Try adding two or three tablespoons of prepared mustard. Your recipe sounds a lot like mine, except I use brown sugar instead of molasses. The mustard will give it a flavor kick and help separate the other ingredients flavor profile. Much like salt does in bringing out flavors.

MMM! makes me want to fire up a pot of beans. Haven't made any in quite a while.

Try adding a pinch of cyanne, some mustard and some of chopped up pulled pork leftovers

Have you tried Keri's Hog Apple Beans? People lose their minds over this stuff. In all honesty, I've made them so much I'd like to make something else, but when we have parties I'm afraid I'll be drawn and quartered if I don't serve these.

This is one of the most universally loved dishes I have ever seen. What's cool is there is room for variation - what kind of meat you use, if you use fatties, what kind of sausage, rub, sauce, etc. & basically no matter what you do it turns out great - just different kinds of great. I let mine sit in the smoker as long as I can, usually with something beefy or porky dripping into them - like brisket, pulled pork, home made bacon I'm smoking, etc.

skip the molasses and try some mustard, brown sugar and a little bit of syrup.

I'm with GTR.
I think it's a winner recipe...even people who don't really like beans go nuts for it.
Plus it got me 2nd place during a comp 3 years ago.

I like making the hog-apple beans with macerated peaches instead of the apples. Makes them a little more tart, and there's a little bit more crunch.

Either way though, can't go wrong with Hog apple or Wampus' peach beans.

Brew-Bq · 12-07-2015, 09:57 AM

I notice most people use canned beans. I would suggest making your own. Its so easy and the flavor and texture are so much better. Throw em in a crockpot w some stock, spices and whatever else and set and forget. Even one slice of raw bacon in a pot will really give it a nice flavor to go with the spices.

Thanks for the comments...have some questions just no time right now....
