Recipe : Jack Stack's Baked Beans



Saturday was my niece and nephew's co-graduation party - she from high school, he from college.  My sister made a special request that I make these awesome beans!

Adapted from a Recipezaar.com post.

One recipe will feed 12-15 people for dinner, 15-20 if you are having a potluck type event.

To fill a 5 qt crockpot (with room to stir) combine in the crockpot:

1 - industrial size (7 lb, 2 oz) can Pork and Beans
1 lb bacon, cooked and chopped into small pieces
1/2 lb smoked brisket (I get mine at Whole Foods)
1/2 lb pulled pork (I get mine at Whole Foods)
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c sorghum (in the maple syrup aisle)
1 tbsp minced dried onion
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
1 tsp liquid smoke

Stir all ingredients together and cook for 6 - 8 hours, stirring occasionally.  Remove lid and cook for 1 1/2 hours more. 

**You will need 4 batches to fill an 18 qt electric roaster.  Cook at 200 degrees overnight.  In the morning,, turn the heat up to 350 degrees and cook until thickened.  Keep at 200 degrees for serving.
