I tried this recipe last week. I soaked the beans overnight and did this recipe, but the beans were still too crunchy. This batch was worth the effort! They have a sweet flavor with all of the brown sugar, syrup and molasses, but they also have a real KICK at the end with the cayenne pepper. I really think that you should do this recipe in your smoker, but they're also something you could do in your oven, too. I'd put these in the oven at 275-300 for a couple hours. Here's the recipe and how I finished them in the smoker!
Ingredients
The only change I'd make to this recipe is to add some more liquid. I might double the BBQ sauce, syrup, molasses and ketchup. They weren't dry, but if you want something closer to "out of the can," consider adding a little more liquid.
