Ingredients

Sauce

Beans & Meat

  • ½ pound bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 links smoked sausage with cheddar sliced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ pound chorizo
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Rub
  • 1 can cans Great Northern Beans drained
  • 2 cans Navy beans drained
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 large jalapeño peppers sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 220° following factory directions. Prep a grill-safe pan with cooking spray.
  • Put the ground beef and chorizo into a sauté pan. Season with the Everything Rub (or your favorite BBQ rub) and break apart while it browns over medium-high heat.
  • While the meat is browning, mix together all of the sauce ingredients until combined. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop and stir frequently, simmering until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Put the beans, onion, and jalapeno into the pan. Pour in the cooked ground meats and sliced smoked sausage and crumbled bacon. Top with the sauce and stir gently.
  • Put the pan on the grill, shut the lid, and go do something else for an hour.
  • Turn the heat up to 325°F. Stir gently and go away again.
  • Cook for another 30-60 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened to your liking and reduced slightly and everything is bubbly and melded together.
  • Remove from the grill and enjoy!
