Ingredients  

  • 1 can black beans drained & rinsed
  • 2 cans pinto beans drained & rinsed
  • 8 oz bacon diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce unsalted & cubed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
  • Heat up a large cast iron pan over medium heat, and cook the diced bacon until it's nice and crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the rinsed beans, bacon, onions, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper in a large cast iron pan, and mix well.
  • Place the cast iron skillet on your smoker. Smoke for for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the beans are heated through.
  • Remove the beans from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
