I’ve made these beans a few times. Very easy to make. Please look at his Smoked Mac & Cheese. That recipe is the bomb, everyone loves it. I also did his Pork Belly burnt ends last year. Making them again for the fourth of July this year. Wondering if he has a recipe for barbecue sauce.
Delicious recipe! I needed my whole big green egg for the meat. I cooked the beans in a crock pot, and added some liquid smoke to sub for the smoker.
A friend brought these to Thanksgiving. OMG these are great. I would chop the apples a lot smaller, but still the way it cooked they aren’t a problem. Some folks if they see something that looks ‘off’ they tend to put it to the side. Chopping them up more, and adding a little more onion would be fantastic!
Fantastic recipe — a crowd favorite! I usually have to cook mine in the crock pot because my Pellet Grill is always full-up with pork butts (Killer Hog-style when I make this recipe. To compensate, I make sure to use a BBQ sauce with a hickory smoke flavoring. Like others have posted, I chop up the apple pie filling slices into smaller chunks to more evenly distribute. A few times I have had some fresh apples on hand I have done a tiny dice on them peeling and all and tossed them in the crock pot raw or lightly sautéed near the end of the onion/bell peppers. Sometimes I will also add applewood smoked bacon in addition to the sausage if I have it on hand. I cut it into squares chunks and soft-fry it in a skillet before adding the bacon pieces to the top of the mixture to further cook down. The recipe is wonderful as is – I just like to experiment.
