Over the years it has become a running joke about how much my youngest son loves baked beans. When he was little, Hunter would ask if we were having baked beans whenever we grilled out. In his mind, if we were having a cookout with burgers and dogs then his favorite side dish was sure to be part of the menu.

Now, I’m not opposed to making baked beans for my sweet boy but honestly, after serving my much loved Bake Bean recipe for years, I decided it was time to change things up a bit. I took the core ingredients of my traditional recipe and added a few new flavors. After a bit of experimentation, my Pineapple BBQ Baked Beans recipe was born. This past weekend I served them at Sunday supper and I can proudly report that these baked beans have been declared Hunter’s new favorite side dish!

This dish comes together in no time. It uses simple ingredients that are pantry staples in my house. All that’s required is the opening of a few cans, a bit of measuring, stirring, and baking.

Tips For Making Pineapple BBQ Baked Beans

  • I use canned pork and beans because I think they are perfect for baked beans and because that’s what my Mama used. You can sub out for great northern beans if you like. You can also make this dish with a combination of both kinds of beans.
  • You may not be a fan of mustard but I promise, you will be so happy you didn’t skip this part of the recipe! Whole grain mustard gives just the right amount of tang and the tender mustard seeds give a “little pop” in your mouth with every bite.
  • Feel free to use whatever kind of BBQ sauce you like, just make sure it’s a high-quality brand. 
  • My recipe calls for canned pineapple chunks. I’ve found that sometimes the chunks are a bit large so I cut them in half before mixing them into the beans.
  • This recipe can be made ahead of time, covered, and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to bake and serve.
