Smoky three bean bake is sure to be a hit at any summer barbecue or potluck. It’s easy to prepare ahead of time and the sweet and smoky flavors are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
I have to tell you, these beans are good and it’s one of those dishes that gets better the next day. I actually ate this for lunch for three days straight and enjoyed every single bite! Perhaps I shouldn’t be sharing that, but they’re that good!
It’s smoky from the smoked paprika, a little sweet from the brown sugar and the perfect amount of salty from the bacon. Just yum…..seriously.
I also really love that the list of ingredients are pretty regular ingredients that are easy to keep on hand. This is so great if you get invited to a last minute potluck.
Pin this recipe for later!
These smoky beans are also easy to make. Cook some bacon, saute some veggies, whisk together a quick sauce and mix it all up with a trio of beans.
At this point, it’s ready to bake OR you can refrigerate it if you want to bake it off later. And, as I already mentioned, the leftovers taste even better the next day.
This is the perfect kind of dish to bring to a potluck and would also be great at a summer barbecue. It will be the dish that disappears quickly.
Give this smoky three bean bake a try and see if you like them as much as my family and me.
