🌍 Origin & History
Baked beans and barbecue go together like smoke and fire. The tradition dates to Native American cooking, where beans were slow-cooked with maple syrup and bear fat. European settlers added molasses and salt pork, creating Boston baked beans. In the South, pit masters added BBQ drippings and brown sugar. Our version skips the brown sugar but keeps the smoky depth from bacon and smoked paprika.
