Tips

• Both pork and brisket burnt ends will work in this recipe. You can make your own or save time by picking up some of the pre-cooked variety at the grocery store.
• Add some delicious and unexpected flavor to your baked beans by adding some chopped canned peaches and freshly ground black pepper. These flavors pair beautifully with the sweet and tangy flavor of the beans. 
• If you have a smoker, you can place the cast iron skillet with the cooked baked beans in the smoker for 20 minutes to give the dish even more smoky flavor.
• Place a few strips of uncooked bacon on top of the beans before placing them in the oven. As the bacon cooks, it will infuse the beans with flavor. Then, you can chop the bacon into small pieces and stir it into the beans before serving.
