Smoked Apple Baked Beans Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground beef in medium frying pan add all freash vegetable, herbs and spices into pan with ground beef
• 2. In a medium size backing dish add your bushes bake bean and apple pie filling, along with the rest of the remaining ingedients. Then add ground beef mixture. mix all ingedients together add butter by placesing it all over the top off your bake beans. place it in your smoker for 2 1/2 hours
• 3. preheat your smoker at 225 cook time is 2 1/2 hours prep time is 30 min. very easy but taste great with that smokey flavor and sweetness. Can be a side dish or a meal. You can bake them in the oven if you don't have a smoker pre heat the oven at 350 and bake for 1 1/2 hours

Steps:

• Rinse beans and cook overnight on low in a slow cooker (crock pot). Rinse again and place in a large bowl.
• Open pineapple chunks and drain (reserving liquid), add to the beans.
• Mix tomato paste, molassas, soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, pineapple juice, garlic powder, black pepper, cinnamon and ground ginger in a small bowl then add to beans. mix to coat completely.
• Divide the mixture between 2 baking dishes that will fit in your smoker (or in your oven).
• Cut the bacon strips into @3/4 inch pieces then layer the top of each baking dish. Place in your smoker with the wood chips of your choice(I prefer apple) at 200 degrees until the bacon is cooked, @6 hours. PLEASE NOTE, this time is based upon my electric smoker on medium with a full water pan. If you are using an oven either place a pan of water in the oven or reduce the cooking time, to when the bacon is cooked to a golden brown.
• Mix both batches of beans in a large covered bowl, refrigerate over night, then gently reheat and serve the next day.
