It doesn’t get much more southern than these bourbon peach BBQ baked beans.
Peaches, bourbon, beans? YES!!
Southerners, you sure do know good food! <–truth
I know it may seem odd to add peaches to your beans, but, but, but, I promise it is not.
No babbling today because I have this feeling that tomorrow I will be doing a lot of that (exciting news!).
PS. I am SO ready for Friday, are you?
Baked beans are never something I thought I would be making. Sadly no one in my immediate family is into beans. I personally love them, but when it comes to making beans as a side dish to a family meal, beans were never an option.
That was until I heard my grandpa was coming to visit, Then I was like, “Oh my gosh, I get to make beans!! See, grandpa loves baked beans. If I recall correctly, he actually loves my Mimi’s baked beans best (Mimi is my dad’s mom, Grandpa is my mom’s dad), but I don’t have that recipe and I have had this idea for peach baked beans since the beginning of summer. So this was my chance, I was making beans!
And yes, I was pretty pumped.
PLUS the peaches have been so flipping good since the start of August. I pretty much could not wait to throw them into my beans.
This recipe is really so simple and quick to throw together. You start out by cooking some bacon (ah huh) in a big ol dutch oven until they are crisp and perfect. From there you literally just add all the other ingredients to the dutch oven (bacon stays in) and continue to bake. I’d say a good 45 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and thickened.
Yum, right?
My grandpa thought so, and guys, so did my dad!! Yay!! I tried to get my mom to eat the beans by serving them with freshly made hot popovers. She ate the popovers (like three actually), but didn’t even try the beans.
I mean, how lame is that???
Oh but then I fed gramps a kind of spicy fruit salsa and I think I ruined his taste buds for the night. Thinking maybe not everyone is all that into the hot spices like my dad. However, I also think he may have gotten a red fresno seed. Thinking that maybe the second red fresno (with a few seeds still intact) was probably not my best decision for that salsa either.
Oops!
But hey, I served this pork and that was a HUGE hit all around…just without the (double) chili salsa.
So what did I serve for dessert??? Next week people. Next week.
Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
But really, these beans are the best. Totally a crowd pleaser.
Tried this yesterday for our Memorial Day dinner.
Way, WAY too much vinegar – completely spoiled the dish. Had to throw it away.
Too bad as without the vinegar, it would have been killer.
So sorry about the Vinegar Ted, wish it didn’t ruin it ):
wow i like this
Thank you!
My local grocery store doesn’t carry 2 ounce cans of beans. Even Amazon doesn’t carry them. Where do you get 2 ounce cans of beans?
Hey Pat! I am so sorry, that is a typo. You need 14 ounce cans of beans. Let me know if you have questions. Hope you love this recipe!
Do you think using apples would be as delicious??
Hi! I think apples will be great. Hope you love this!
Passion the website– very user pleasant and lots to see!
Thanks!
Ooh there is a pool/movie night coming up and I am assuming a bbq to go with it so I think I’ll just HAVE to make these beans. They look delicious. My mom’s family and my siblings love beans but my husband does not 🙁 so this will be my chance to have them in abundance :D.
Sounds so fun!!! And these will be perfect! Hope everyone enjoys!! (:
Can this recipe be cooked in a crock pot or on the stove?
Hey Judy! I have never tried it, but I am sure it will work. I would cook on low for 6-8 hours. Let me know of you have questions. Thanks!
I saw a commenter asking about using a slow cooker. Has anyone tried it? Can’t turn on the oven for even 45 min! Thanks.
I think using a slow cooker would work great for this recipe! I cook them on low for 6-8 hours. Let me know if you have questions. Hope you love this recipe!
Would you happen to know how long to put them in the oven if we use dried beans (that have been soaked overnight)?
HI! I really do not know, but from looking at recipes online I would say around 4-5 hours. Hope that helps!
Hi!
I made these a couple months ago and were a-mazing! I want to make them again but fresh peaches are no longer available in my area. Would can/jar peaches work?
Yes, that will be great!
These were terrific. I made them for a family function and they were well-received. The peaches in particular blew several minds.
You had me at bourbon.
I know this may sound silly, but did you peel the peaches?
Not silly at all. I did not peel my peaches because I love the skin, but if you prefer them without, I would peel them. hope you love this recipe! 🙂
Did I miss the pop over recipe?
Hi!
I just used this recipe. THANKS!
What a fantastic and intriguing combination! Peaches N Beans! I’m a sucker for sweet/savoury baked beans. And they are truly a crowd pleaser, aren’t they? People freaking love baked beans 🙂
Thanks Allison!!!
Oh boy I am starving
🙂
Thanks!
