Ingredients
- 1 (32-ounce) can pork and beans
- 1 cup chopped brisket
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (recommended: Jack Stack Original)
- 4 heaping tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a 4-quart saucepan. Over medium heat, bring beans to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook beans for 20 minutes or until a thick, soupy consistency is reached. Serve.
This recipe also works well on a grill, letting the great outdoors permeate and enhance the flavor of the beans as they cook.

I have made this recipe twice so far. It came out great both times, but the first batch didn't taste like Jack Stacks. The second time I pulsed the brisket in the food processor and it made a huge difference. Both times I used Jack Daniels packaged brisket and it came out great!

We lived in Kansas City for seven years and these beans are to die for. This recipe is outstanding and so easy. DO drain the pork and beans first; the beans have a nice thick consistency and the extra liquid would only dilute the flavor. I divided the recipe in half since there's only two of us. I made a beef brisket at the same time and since it's only 20 minutes, I cut off a small piece of brisket for the bean recipe. I used Kansas City barbeque sauce from Wegman's (their own brand. Kraft Original Thick & Spicy is available everywhere and tastes the same. I'd recommend either of these for excellent results. Easy to divide in half or double for more servings. It really tastes like the beans were slow simmered all day. This is definitely one to try; would be great for a potluck, party or picnic.
