Barbecue Baked Beans
Summertime is the perfect time to make, to serve beans and to eat baked beans. Barbecue Baked Beans are Smokey, Spicy and Sweet which equals the perfect recipe for making great beans. Here on Turnips 2 Tangerines we love our baked beans. A summertime back-yard barbecue just isn’t the same without some sort of baked beans on the menu.
Has It All
This recipe has it all, smokiness from the bacon and liquid smoke, sweetness from the brown sugar, maple syrup, and molasses and the spiciness comes from the sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce and spices. Last but not least, the tomato flavor comes from the bbq sauce and tomato sauce. Depending on what type of bbq sauce you use, you can make these beans super spicy or mild. For barbecue baked beans we like to use any flavor of Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce.
