Ingredients
- 5 pieces Bacon smoked
- 1 Sweet onion chopped
- 1 Poblano pepper chopped
- 1 Red bell pepper chopped
- 2 Jalapeño peppers minced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 15 ounces Canned great northern beans rinsed
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans rinsed
- 15 ounces Canned navy beans rinsed
- ½ cup Barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup Dark brown sugar packed
- 12 ounces Beer preferably dark
- ¼ cup Molasses
- ¼ cup Tomato paste
- 2 teaspoon Yellow mustard powder
- 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Chopped barbecue brisket from the point or the flat
Instructions
- Brisket baked beans can be made a slow cooker, crock pot or Dutch oven inside a conventional oven. If using a Dutch oven, preheat the oven to 275°F.
- Chop the slices of bacon into ¼-inch pieces. Place the chopped bacon in a large Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon fat renders, about 6 minutes.
- Add the onion, poblano pepper, red bell pepper, jalapeño peppers and garlic to the cooked bacon. Stir to combine. There is no need to remove the bacon grease. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 7 minutes.
- If using a slow cooker or crock pot, transfer the bacon and vegetable mixture to the slow cooker.
- Drain and rinse the beans under cold water. Place beans in with the crispy bacon and vegetable mixture. Add the remaining ingredients (BBQ sauce, molasses, brown sugar, beer, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, black pepper and brisket.) Stir the bean mixture combine.
- Place the Dutch oven inside the preheated oven, uncovered, and cook 2 hours until the sauce thickens. If using a slow cooker or crock pot, cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the beans are tender and the flavors have combined. Stir occasionally.
- Serve the Brisket Baked Beans as a tasty side dish alongside your favorite BBQ meats, hot dogs, potato salad, or macaroni salad.
