These Beef Brisket Baked Beans are smoky, rich, and packed with tender brisket, crispy bacon, and bold BBQ flavor. They’re easy to make, perfect for cookouts and potlucks, and taste even better straight off the smoker or fresh from the oven.
Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate and leave a little bacon grease in the pan.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the baked beans, chopped brisket, cooked bacon, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and pickle juice until combined.
Bake uncovered at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and thickened around the edges.
Slow Cooker Directions
Follow the directions above. Then transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
Smoker Directions
Follow the directions above. Instead of using a Dutch Oven use a cast iron skillet or transfer the baked beans to a foil pan for easy clean up. Smoke at 225 degrees for 1 ½ to 2 hours stirring once or twice. If the beans start looking dry, stir in a splash of water or extra BBQ sauce.
