This recipes is a clone of El Pollo Locos' BBQ Black Beans.
1 lb black beans soaked 8 hours or overnight.
2 smallish onions chopped.
1 tsp minced garlic
2 cups bottled bbq sauce (I used Famous Daves Sweet and Spicy Sauce, someday I will make my own, if you have a great sweet and spicy recipe please share)
2-3 drops liquid smoke per pint jar
1 small jalapeno minced and divided among 5 pint jars
Fill beans to the halfway point, add onions and jalapeno evenly.
I also added some pico de gallo although the original recipe did not call for it. I added about 1/3 cup BBQ sauce per jar and then filled with water.
The beans soak up the water and you are left with a thickened sauce, in a few week the sauce will be very thick as beans continue to absorb the water.

Oh man, so you're the one who used my last bottle of "Famous Dave's" BBQ Sauce!!! Oh well, at least you put it to good use!!
ReplyDeleteI made this over the weekend..I'm just waiting a couple of weeks for things to thicken up.
ReplyDeleteI think pinto beans would have thickened it up faster.
ReplyDeleteI made this recipe last night, and can't wait to open a jar in a couple of weeks. Didn't have a jalapeno or liquid smoke so used 1/4 tsp chipotle powder in each jar. Chipotle chilis are smoked jalapenos, so should be similar in taste.
ReplyDeletesounds good. I always substitute ingredients. I am canning tonight and am trying to figure out what to use in place of celery.
