INGREDIENTS

• 4 strips bacon

• 2 red onions, chopped fine

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 can (16 oz size) baked beans

DIRECTIONS

TURKEY

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the strips to drain on paper towels, let cool, then chop into small pieces.

2. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the pan.

3. Add the onions to the pan and cook until they are just softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook 2 minutes longer.

4. Combine the onion mixture and the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix well.

5. Pour the bean mixture into a 2-quart baking dish.

6. Light your Pit Barrel^® according to the instructions and install the grill grate.
   Tip: Use our Hinged Grill Grate to easily hang meat and cook sides at the same time.

7. Cook on the grill grate 2½ hours, or until the top is browned and bubbly.
