Smoked Green Beans Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans green beans about 28 to 30 ounces
  • 1 stick butter slightly melted
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 3 to 5 slices of bacon ...or more if you would like. If you place the bacon on top of the green beans it does not need to be fried or baked first.
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • Optional - You can also cut up (no need to peel the potatoes) or chunk baked potatoes and mix in with the green beans to make a casserole if you do not have enough space to place whole baked potatoes in your smoker or are trying to stretch your available ingredients.

Instructions
 

  • Pour all of the ingredients except the bacon onto a cast iron pot or throw away aluminum foil pan. Do not strain the green beans, there needs to be enough water in the pan for them to cook properly and evenly.
  • Stir them all together - except for the bacon, unless you’ve already cooked it.
  • Lay the raw bacon across the top of the green bean mixture.
  • Smoke at 250 degrees for about two hours.
  • Tip - To prevent the green beans from becoming too dry, cover the pot or pan with foil for the first 90 minutes of smoking.
