Notes
Bacon Options: The bacon may be added whole and removed after baking for a subtler flavor, or diced prior to baking to be served as part of the dish.
Slow Cooker Method: Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 4–6 hours.
Smoker Method: Place the mixed ingredients into a smoker-safe dish, such as a cast iron Dutch oven, and smoke at 225°F for 2–3 hours.
Storage: Leftover baked beans may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat for 5–10 minutes or in the microwave for 60–90 seconds.
Make-Ahead Tip: The uncooked mixture can be refrigerated up to two days in advance before baking.
