These spicy barbecue cowboy beans are a cinch to make thanks to this handy BBQ Style Cowboy Beans mix from Hurst’s HamBeens.

This is a new bean mix that will be in select retailers (including Publix) by the end of November or you can order it through Hurst’s online store. You can see if it’s available yet near you, on the store locator here.

Here is my first recipe with the BBQ Style Cowboy Beans mix and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

What kind of beans are in Hurst’s BBQ Style Cowboy beans?

Small red and pink beans are in this cowboy bean mix! It’s a perfect mix for barbecue beans.

How to make Spicy Barbecue Cowboy Beans:

You will need:

• 15.5 oz. package Hurst’s BBQ Style Cowboy Beans (seasoning packet included in this mix)
• Cooked Bacon
• Jalapenos
• Yellow Onion
• Garlic cloves
• Chicken broth
• Barbecue Sauce

Directions:

• Place the beans in a colander. Sort any debris from the beans and discard.
• Rinse the beans and add them to the slow cooker. Add the bacon, jalapeno, onion, garlic and chicken broth (Wait to add the barbecue sauce and seasoning packet). Stir.

• Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
• After the cooking time is up add the barbecue sauce and seasoning packet (that is included in bean mix).

What kind of flavors are in the included seasoning packet?

• Sweetened with brown and cane sugar. It also has maple sugar (100% maple syrup).
• Spices including hatch chile pepper, chipotle pepper, paprika, and salt.
• Other flavors are cane molasses and coffee. See here for the full ingredient list.

How to serve cowboys beans:

• Cowboy beans don’t to be topped with anything like cheese or onions.
• I serve extra jalapenos for those who like it spicy.
• If you are serving this as a main course, serve cornbread or garlic bread on the side.

Remember these beans are fresh on the market and available at select retailers (including Publix). Or you can order the beans here. I love ordering beans from Hurst’s and adding a few extra beans that I have not tried to have ready to go in my pantry. I just ordered a box of different types of beans for my mom who loves cooking beans in her crockpot.
