Method
- Preheat your oven to 325ºF. This is important to ensure even cooking and optimal flavor development.
- In a medium-sized pot, empty the prepared baked beans. If you're using canned beans, make sure to drain them slightly to avoid excess moisture.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Stir them into the beans, allowing their flavors to meld together.
- Incorporate the smoked brisket and gently mix it into the bean mixture. You want to evenly distribute the meat so every bite is flavorful.
- Next, add the stone ground mustard, molasses, and ketchup. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be a beautiful blend of colors and textures.
- Now, add the jalapeño peppers. If you prefer less heat, you can adjust the amount to your liking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t be afraid to taste as you go to achieve the perfect balance for your palate.
- Once everything is well combined, bring the pot to a low simmer over medium heat. This step allows the flavors to develop and come together.
- Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making your mouth water.
- When done, carefully remove the pot from the oven. Let it cool for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This cooling time allows the flavors to settle.
