This Spicy BBQ Baked Beans recipe is anything but traditional. Why? Because it's actually exciting. We add a little smoke, spice and yee-haw to some basic pinto beans, and we don't go easy on the bacon either! Feel free to use your favorite BBQ sauce instead of the one we suggest. This may be a Spicy BBQ Baked Beans recipe but you can lessen the spice by replacing one of the spicy chili powders with regular chili powder. Anyway, enough messing around. Let's dig in and enjoy what is soon to become your new favorite side dish.
