Famous Dave's Wilbur Baked Beans

By

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 8 ounces smoked pork sausage (2 links if using Farmer John's)
  • 4 ounces beef brisket, cooked (Tyson or Lloyd's work great)
  • 4 ounces pulled pork, cooked (Lloyd's or Jack Daniel's work great)
  • 1 cup white onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced
  • 2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, minced
  • 56 ounces baked beans (Bush's recommended)
  • 1 3/4 cups barbecue sauce (Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy Barbecue Sauce or Hunt's Original Barbecue Sauce recommended)

Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.

2 Cook the bacon and save the fat. You'll need 3 tablespoons (toss out any extra).

3 Grill the sausage until the surface is mostly charred (about 20 minutes).

4 This will add smoky flavor to the beans.

5 When the sausage is almost done (after about 15 minutes), toss the brisket on the grill and give it a little charring as well.

6 Preheat 3 tablespoons of bacon fat in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.

7 Add the onions and peppers to the fat and saute for 5 minutes or until the onions begin to turn translucent.

8 Dice the bacon, sausage, brisket, and pulled pork and add it to the pan.

9 Crank the heat up to medium, and cook for 2 minutes, then add the beans (with the liquid) and barbecue sauce.

10 Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

11 Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
