Start out with leftover smoked brisket, I used my Jack and Coke Brisket in this recipe.
Cut the leftover brisket into small pieces, I did use fatty pieces in this to add flavor as well.
Dice up your bacon and cook it in a small fry pan, I did not cook mine very long as I knew it would cook in the dutch oven as it was on the smoker.
Now fun fact, I have a friend who is also a food smoker who calls these cowboy beans! Whether they call these Cowboy beans or baked beans they are amazing is all I know or care about!
Start-up your smoker to get the smoke rolling! I set my Pit Boss Pro 1100 to a smoke setting of P4 for the smoke setting. This time around I used Fruit Blend Pellets to smoke my beans.
Open up your cans of beans and dump them into your dutch oven. I did strain my butter beans but for the other beans, I kept with all the sauce that was in the can.
Add in your meat next you can drop in more bacon grease if you want to for extra flavoring.
Next, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir everything together.
I smoked this the same day I made Smoked Queso, so my smoker was getting a good workout.
Set the full dutch oven on your smoke once your rolling smoke, without a lid so the smoke can saturate the beans.
Stir the beans every 30 minutes or so to make sure they cook evenly and the smoke flavor penetrates everything.
I cooked on the smoke setting for three hours and then turned up to 225 for another hour and 30 minutes as I finished the Smoked Queso.
Serve and enjoy!
