I love the baked beans they make, but I’ve never been able to replicate it at home. I know from refrigerating them that they use a ridiculous amount of butter, since there’s usually about a quarter of an inch of solidified butter at the top of the container after they’ve been in the fridge overnight… But if somebody knows how they make the beans, I would love to hear it. Hopefully somebody here has worked there before and could fill us in.

Never mind, I found the answer buried in a thread from long ago:

Note: Podnuh’s uses the fat/trimmings off there briskets in their beans. That gives it the smoky meaty flavor. Fantastic beans. You can do a similar job by jazzing up Bush's baked beans with brisket trimmings, some mustard, honey, garlic and BBQ sauce. Or just use some browned ground beef with the above and put your pan on your smoker uncovered to get some smoke.


Here’s what I do.

Baked Beans

Ingredients

1 lb bacon, fine diced
1 lb hot breakfast sausage
2 medium onions, fine diced
2 jalapeño peppers, minced, seeds removed
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cans(15 oz)Van Camps beans, with liquid
1 can black beans, with liquid
1 bunch green onions, minced
4 T parsley, minced
1 t each, onion and garlic powder
2 bay leaves
1/2 T dry mustard
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1T Tony’s
1 t black pepper
1 cup BBQ sauce (used KC Masterpiece)
1.5 to 2 cups Norris Best syrup (use a dark syrup)


Method

Brown the bacon, sausage, and onions in an oven proof pot. Use medium heat and cook until the onions are beginning to get a good color. Add the garlic during the last minute or two of the sauté stage.

And all remaining ingredients and mix well. You can taste at this point to adjust seasonings, particularly the Tonys for salt.

Place in a 325 to 350° oven, either in this pot or in a baking dish. Cover the dish for the first two hours or so of cooking, then remove the cover to reduce the liquid volume a bit and develop a little more color on the beans. Total cooking time should be around three hours or so.
