This recipe for Southern Style BBQ Baked Beans has been in our family for many years. It’s the perfect side for summer BBQ soirees and pairs well with our Homemade Creamy Cole Slaw.
I’ve been duly elected to make this BBQ Baked Beans recipe for as many years as I can remember. The recipe originally came from a family friend who used to bring it to our big get together’s back in the day.
Through the years, I’ve memorized the recipe. I will admit that I don’t always buy the exact same brand of beans but I wouldn’t dare buy a brand I don’t like!
I always mix the beans and BBQ sauce in a bowl so I can stir them together well. Occasionally I get in trouble with the family for not adding the browned ground beef. These baked beans could be a meal by their self. They are lip smacking delicious and always popular.
Sometimes I make them in my Bean Pot which has a family history too. It was a gift from a friend back in 1978. It’s cooked a lot of beans through the years.
I always add bacon to the top of the bean pot and then use a spoon to mix it into the beans for flavor. I never use the bean pot lid in the oven but cover the opening with foil instead. I’m always afraid I’ll break the lid so I’m extra careful with it.
Disposable foil pans are perfect for my BBQ Baked Beans recipe when I’m taking it to a pot luck. No clean up needed, just toss the pan.
This recipe is really easy to adjust. You can use less beans for a smaller dish or more for a larger dish. It’s important not to drain the beans and you can always add a little more sauce if you want to. Just don’t over cook the beans and dry them out!

They look great! It is fun to have a dish you are famous for and funny that they complain when you don’t make it “right!”

I LOVE southern style baked beans. I don’t always buy the same brand either, but like you, it has to be a great brand that we all like. And they must be topped with bacon, right? I’ve never added kidney beans before and it sounds like a great addition. I’ve got to try your recipe the next time the family is over for dinner.
