Sweet peaches, smoky bacon, and spicy jalapeños are mixed together with baked beans in Peach Bourbon Beans. The ultimate side dish, these beans can simmer on the grill while you cook up your favorite barbecue meal. These beans are so hearty, they are almost a meal unto themselves.
Bourbon adds a special punch to this dish, especially paired with the peaches. Reach for the good stuff for better flavor. And, don’t forget to sample some for yourself while cooking.
If you like your beans spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeños. If you prefer a milder dish, remove the seeds before adding the peppers to the beans. Make sure to either wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after handling the peppers.
Add the peaches, onions, peppers, and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the beans, jalapeños, sauce, dry rub, mustard, and reserved bacon to the cast iron pot. Transfer the peach mixture to the pot and stir.
Place the cast iron pot on the grill and simmer for 1 to 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.
