A secret ingredient features in this homemade cracked pepper baked beans recipe, perfect as a side while grilling out, or as a main dish with some cornbread.

I love me some baked beans as a side with some ribs and some cornbread, potato salad… ya know, a typical Sunday afternoon meal in summer.

These beans are a little different because I used peppered steak jerky in mine. Much like a jerky, although not a jerky, these steak snacks are chewy and flavorful.

I like the idea of making beans from scratch (okay, I didn’t use dried beans and cook my own, but I also didn’t open a can of baked beans, either!). The smell of these babies cooking on the stove was phenomenal.

I think they’d be a great addition to our meals while camping in the woods too! No need for anything other than some skillet cornbread, and we’d have a hearty meal, easily! Seriously, these things take only around an hour to make, and most of that time is hands off. My favorite!
