Every one knows only yankees eat beans in chili Jeff. Chili is meat and no beans. :twak:

i actually like it both ways... grew up eating it with beans because we didnt know any different/better..... in my many years of travelling in USA, i made a stop in Houston,TX and discovered.... chile no beans, Q'd brisket, pulled pork sandwiches(i was at the houston chili cookoff/livestock show)..the rest is history..lol

[joec]

I will eat it either way too, just yanking your chain a bit. :yankchain:

Oh, I am VERY excited to try your Boston-style BBQ'd beans, Jeff!

I'm a little skeptical about the vinegar, but I'll put in a splash!

Yummm!

they key ingredient is the Q'd rib tips and trimmings... i rubbed and Q'd them on mothers day for these beans.

i cant remember who told me about the AC vinegar but it works....lol

Thanks for sharing Bam. Question, how are they cold the next day?

i will tell you tomorrow...if they last that long around here..lol

but in my experience, my homemade beans as with most things i cook are better the next day...flavor come together better IMHO

Damn, looking good! So white beans are the bean of choice for backed beans? I've always used canned, but you are inspiring me!! :thumb:

most commercial bean makers use navy beans but any white bean will do for this recipe... its just the way i learned how to make them, i guess you could use any bean according to your taste...

it is way cheap to make and tastes so good... especially when you use your own smoked or Q'd meat in it
