This recipe is great to make if you have any leftover Brisket. You won’t have to worry about cooking it, just chop the brisket into small pieces and add it to the recipe. It’s a great way to use up leftovers, but have a completely new dish to enjoy.

CAN YOU DOUBLE THIS RECIPE?

If you make this recipe for a cookout with a lot of people, it’s easy to double up. You’ll just need to use two separate baking dishes. You can’t use a large dutch oven or something deep because the beans should be spread over a fairly shallow surface. This makes sure the beans cook consistently and that the sauce gets thickened in the oven.

VARIATIONS ON BRISKET BAKED BEANS

Beans: Instead of pinto and kidney beans (or along with them), you can use navy beans, cannellini beans, or red beans in this Baked Beans recipe.
Sweetener: Apart from using brown sugar, molasses, or maple syrup is a great alternative sweetener. Molasses will give a darker, richer flavor while maple syrup is more sugary.

Bacon: If you want to add more meat on top of the brisket or if you don’t have brisket, you can add bacon to the Baked Beans. Many people love bacon in baked beans and the flavor of bacon pairs great with the brown sugar already in the recipe. Cut some cooked bacon and add it at the same time you add or would add the brisket to the beans.
Mild Baked Beans: This recipe really isn’t too spicy, but if you prefer things more mild you can adjust it. Try just using half of a jalapeno or take the jalapeno out of the recipe entirely.

HOW TO STORE BRISKET BAKED BEANS

Serve: Don’t leave Brisket Baked Beans out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Store: You can keep Baked Beans in the fridge for 3-4 days. Let the beans cool down before sealing them in an airtight container.
