These Carolina Style Barbecue Beans combine cider vinegar and ketchup to give them that Southern barbecue flavor. While this BBQ bean recipe calls for a can of pork and beans as a base you can use additional lima and kidney beans with some smoked pork to give it a delicious flavor.

Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon mustard

Great Recipe, Member MixedNuts58

I signed up just to give this review since these were so good. I used a large can of vegetarian baked beans, drained, since that's what I had, and made sauce exactly as stated. Fantastic with my pulled pork. Butter gave them a very unique flavor and just the right amount of tang. Everything's better with buttah!
