- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cans great northern beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup Hey Grill Hey Texas Style BBQ Sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce

- Cook the bacon and veggies. Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the diced bacon and cook until rendered, but still soft. Drain off all but a tablespoon of the bacon grease. Add the onions, jalapenos, and garlic to the pan and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and the vegetables are soft.
- Add remaining ingredients. Add the beans, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, soda, vinegar, molasses, mustard, tomato paste, and salt and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine.
- Bake the beans. Transfer the pan to the oven or smoker and bake for 1 hour. The sauce will thicken and reduce during the cooking process.
- Dig in! Serve the baked beans from the warm skillet and enjoy.
