- 15 Ounce Ranch Style Beans
- 1 Cup chicken broth
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 bell peppers Red, Yellow, or Green
- 1 jalepeño Increase to 2 for spicier beans

Instructions
- Prep the veggies by dicing the onions, bell peppers and jalapeno and mincing or finely chopping the garlic. Rinse and drain the black beans.
- Cut the thick cut bacon strips into roughly ½-inch pieces.
- Heat a pan or skillet over medium high heat and cook the bacon to desired doneness. Remove the bacon from the pan but leave the bacon grease.
- Reduce heat to medium, then cook the onion and peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic the last minute of cooking.
- In a foil pan or baking dish combine the beans, molasses, cooked veggies, bacon, spices and seasonings, chicken broth and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine. If available, add the BBQ meats to the beans or if they are cooking at the same time they can be added at the end of the cook.
- Heat your smoker to 225-250 degrees and place the pan of beans on the smoker. Cook for 1-3 hours depending on how smoky you want the beans. Stir the beans about every 30 minutes.
- When ready to eat, remove from the smoker and mix in the BBQ meats, if you did not do this at the beginning of the cook, and enjoy with your favorite BBQ meats.
