The best smoked beans you'll ever taste

Luke Clayton

 Howdy, Folks!

Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite outdoor recipes with you.  Give it a try!  You won't be sorry.

Luke’s Smoked Baked Beans

Soak 2 pounds great northern beans overnight
Rinse, draining most of the water off.

Add:

½ C sweet barbeque sauce
¾ C dark brown sugar
1 C onion
½ C jalepeno
Garlic to taste

Mix and simmer on stove, then place into shallow aluminum pans, put diced bacon on the top, and place into smoker for 30 minutes.

Funnel beans into sterile pint jars, filling to an inch below top of jar.

You’ll want a little bit of liquid in the mix, if you need more add it here.

Put into pressure cooker at 10 pounds pressure for 75 minutes.

Until next time, get out in the great outdoors!
