Brisket Baked Beans might be the best baked beans ever! Flavored with ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, and brown sugar.
Our recipe for Classic Southern Baked Beans is a favorite on the site, but this dish, and Honey Bacon Baked Beans, might give it a run for its money. The addition of the brisket makes the beans extra filling so they could be a BBQ Side Dish or a main dish on their own, and the combination of sweet and spicy is just so good!

About This Recipe
These baked beans are the perfect dish to bring to your next summer cookout. They’re sweet, spicy, and thick. The flavors of the jalapeno and brown sugar play off each other perfectly in this dish. On top of that, there are classic sauces added to flavor the beans like BBQ sauce, mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. The cooked brisket adds a different texture and does a great job absorbing the flavor of the surrounding sauces.
Chef’s Note:
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.
Tips and Tricks
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.
How to Store
- Serve: Don’t leave beans out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
- Store: You can keep beans in the fridge for 3-4 days. Let the beans cool down before sealing them in an airtight container.
- Freeze: You can freeze baked beans. However, the flavor of the beans will deteriorate the longer they’re in the freezer. You won’t want to keep them much longer than 2-3 months.
Variations
- 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.
