Peanut butter probably isn’t what you think of when you think of backyard barbeques or baked beans. That doesn’t mean they don’t go together like, well, peanut butter and jelly!
Today my fourth recipe goes up on PB&Co.’s All Star Recipe Blog and the theme is Summer grilling. I’m a sucker for slow-cooked homemade baked beans so I thought why not combine that with one of my other favorites, Smooth Operator peanut butter?
These beans are baked with onions, molasses, tomato, worcestershire sauce, and—of course—peanut butter. The flavor is nutty and warm with a sweet and salty tang to it. Imagine the best baked beans you’ve ever had only made better with Smooth Operator. It’s also easy to make gluten-free and/or vegan depending on what worcestershire sauce you use.
Hop on over and see the recipe! Like any baked beans, these aren’t going to win any beauty pageants but you won’t mind as you go back for seconds and thirds.
This is awesome, my two favorite foods, COMBINED! I love baked beans (and I obviously LOVE peanut butter too). You know, I bet this would taste amazing with their SPICY PB too 🙂
ohhh no, the link doesn’t work! 🙁 i really want to see it!!
Sorry about that! I guess I got overexcited and published my post before they got around to publishing the recipe on their own site. The link should work in a few hours.
Now it works 🙂
I came back to tell you the link doesn’t work…..but Christina told you first!
I did find a great recipe for pb potato salad though 🙂 I want the beans!
Thanks, Gina! The link should work in a few hours. I guess I just jumped the gun a little.
Now it works 🙂
I llloooovveee baked beans! Great recipe!!
PB + bbq = i love it! i could add PB to anything and everything. I think this combo looks and sounds delicious!
Looks like a fantastic recipe!
Peanut Butter and BBQ? Certainly this is something that’s unconventional but could be quite tasty when executed correctly. Judging from your excellent photography i’m pretty sure even the harshest food network critiques would have a hard time finding anything wrong with this.
Can’t wait to try the recipe! This combination makes total sense to me, as I often add a spoonful of PB to my bowl of chili 🙂

Would this work without a slowcooker do you think just cooking all on the stovetop or finishing in the oven?
You could definitely finish it in the oven in a ceramic pot.
