Morning all. Next week i will be heading up to northern michigan (torch lake to be exact) and i have decided to bring up the wsm and smoke some pork butt for pulled pork. I am trying to figure out a good side dish and i am thinking baked beans. The issue is that i will have limited space on wsm and my plan was to do baked beans in the crock pot as space is also limited in the cabin.

Anyone have a good recipe that has a base of bushs baked beans but gets ramped up with the likes of bacon, northern beans, bbq sauce, etc? I would say less on the sweet side and more on the savory side but not to savory.

Thanks in advance
 
This is one of the oldest bean recipes on the site, and still one of the best...

Keri's Hog-Apple Baked Beans

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*)

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.

Cut maple bacon in 1/2 inch chunks and render down over medium high heat till it becomes semi translucent. Add onions and bell pepper and remove from heat once they are soft. Mix bacon, onion, and bell pepper with all other ingredients except the peach in a 1/2 pan.

Meanwhile cut peach in half, remove pit and place peach halves on grill with tongs and grill for 3-5 minutes to get some char grill marks. Remove peach halves from the heat, coarsely dice them and put on top of beans. Place beans on the grill or smoker uncovered until they reach 160 degrees. Once finished, you can also add 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the beans.

Jack's Old South Peach BBQ Beans
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1020105&postcount=34

8 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 (#10 can, about 6 pounds and 10 ounces) baked beans (recommended: Bush's)
3 cups canned peach pie filling
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 TBS brown sugar
1/2 TBS sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1.5 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until somewhat crispy and its fat has rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the fat in the skillet. Add the pepper and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large baking pan.

Add the bacon, beans, pie filling, barbecue sauce, and dry ingredients to the pan. Mix to combine and bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.
