Baked Beans

Ain't nothing like good baked beans.

I like to do mine in the smoker.
But on days when the weather won't cooperate, you have to do them inside.
Try this recipe sometime, it's a keeper.

Enjoy!!!

Baked beans Bayou Style
Makes about 10 servings

1 pound sliced bacon, coarsely chopped
2 large yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 (16-ounce) cans pork and beans
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup barbecue sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste

In a large, heavy pot (preferably cast iron), fry the bacon until slightly crisp.
Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, five to six minutes.

Add the lemon juice and stir for one minute.

Add the pork and beans, brown sugar and barbecue sauce.
Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about one hour.
Or, you can bake them in a 250-degree oven for about one hour.
