Backyard Brunk Baked Beans

Category: Sides  |  Method: Grill/Smoker (Cast Iron Pot)  |  Prep: 10 min  |  Cook: 45 min  |  Total: 55 min  |  Serves: 6-8

Baked beans are the side that ties a whole cookout spread together — sweet, smoky, a little tangy. Letting them simmer in a cast iron pot right on the grill picks up real smoke flavor, and a couple spoonfuls of Brunk Black Blend gives them the same peppery backbone as our BBQ rub.

Ingredients

• 4 strips bacon, chopped
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cans (28 oz total) navy or pork and beans
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 Tbsp yellow mustard

Brunk Seasoning Used

• 1-2 Tbsp Brunk Black Blend BBQ Rub — $12.99

Instructions

1. Render the bacon. In a cast iron pot set on the grill over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Add onion and soften, 3-4 minutes.
2. Combine. Stir in the beans, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, mustard, and Brunk Black Blend.
3. Smoke and simmer. Close the grill lid and let the beans simmer 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbling.
4. Serve. Pull the pot straight off the grill and set it right on the table alongside your mains.
