Sweet and Smoky Baked Beans

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 3 - 16 oz cans of Pork & Beans
• 2 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
• 1 cup BBQ Sauce
• 1/2 cup Ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 3 to 4 Garlic Cloves minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 5 to 6 strips Bacon, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Onions, diced

DIRECTIONS

1. Chop up and cook the bacon about halfway.
2. Once the bacon is about half cooked you will add in the ground beef.  Break it up as it cooks a bit.
3. Add in the onions and garlic. Sitr it all up and mix until the beef is all browned and the onions are soft and translucent.
4. Add in salt and pepper.  Keep cooking until it's finished.
5. Take away from heat and drain any fat from the pan.
6. Add beans and mix it in.
7. Add brown sugar and mix it in.
8. Add barbeque sauce and ketchup.  MIx it all in.
9. Add remaining ingredients and stir it all up together.
10. Put it in your smoker on 225 for about 2-3 hours.  Until it's all bubbly and the sauce has thickened.

NOTES

• If you don't have a smoker you could just stick it in the oven on 350 for around 1 hour and 30 minutes.  You're using liquid smoke so you already have that smoky flavor.
• If you don't have a cast iron skillet you'll need to get one with high enough edges OR I would suggest a dutch oven.
