smoking Started some pulled pork for drip beans

In a couple hours I'll chop up some onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, cayennes, and garlic to sauté in the grease from 2 pounds of bacon. Oh yeah I forgot, these beans will have bacon too

Bush's original baked beans is the base, once the veggies, bacon, and pulled pork all get added to the beans I'll adjust brown sugar, honey, and salt/pepper/spices to taste and smoke the whole thing for a couple hours to meld the flavors. Will update with progress throughout the evening.

I'm only making beans going to a BBQ with about 35 people but I've only got one dish. I'll be getting involved soon

Bacon



Veggies (yellow sweet onion, red onion, red and yellow bell, 3 deseeded jalapeños, 2 deseeded cayenne, whole head of garlic)



Veggies sizzling in bacon



Pulled pork

It's all mixed and smoking on the kettle. I didn't mean to be up this late but sometimes you just have to let it ride


***Last year I didn't deseed the peppers and also put in a couple habaneros. The entire pot of beans was nuclear, only about half a dozen people out of 25 or so could eat it, but they loved it. I'd like it to be something everyone (except the vegetarians, of course) can enjoy this year***
