Boca Boys Baked Beans with Peaches

• 1 package bacon
• 2 large yellow onions, chopped
• 1 50 ounce can of baked beans (recommended: Bush's)
• 1 can peach pie filling
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 4 tablespoons Boca Boys BBQ Rub, recipe follows

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook,
  stirring, until somewhat crispy and its fat has been rendered. Using a
  slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain,
  leaving the fat in the skillet.
• Empty the can of beans into a large baking pan.
• Puree the peach pie filling, barbecue sauce, and dry rub then add it to the pan and mix by hand.
• Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer them to the baking pan.
• Crumble the bacon and add it as well. Mix to combine and bake,
  uncovered, until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.

• 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
• 2 tablespoons Paprika (I use Szeged Hot Hungarian)
• 1 tablespoon Garam Masala - an Indian spice blend, made by McCormicks and others

Barbecue beans, very much a southern dish

I'm a Boston Baked Bean person, myself.

I grew up a few blocks from the B & M factory in Portland, Maine

Thank you all for pointing out these great recipes! I love beans of all kinds and will definitely try them all.

Here's a favorite...simple and good!

Recipe makes a large batch, but can be adjusted easily. Add or subtract any kind of canned beans you want. Works equally well in a crock pot all day, or in a cast iron dutch oven simmering several hours stove top.

• 8-12 slices bacon, cooked, chopped, save fat
• 3-4 sliced brown onions
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup vinegar, (I use Apple cider)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. dry mustard
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire
• 1 can lima beans
• 1 can Kidney beans
• 1 can Garbanzo beans
• 1 can Black beans
• 1 can Pinto beans
• 1 large can (3 lb.) Pork and Beans
• 1 jar of your favorite BBQ sauce, (or home made)
