Contains soy (from barbecue sauce and molasses)

3 cans (15 oz each) pork and beans 1 cup barbecue sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup molasses 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground mustard 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

In a large pot over medium heat, combine the pork and beans with all ingredients. Stir well to mix in spices and sauce evenly.
Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure that the flavors meld together perfectly. Adjust seasoning to taste.

The key to this dish is the perfect balance of flavors - sweet, tangy, and smoky. Don't be afraid to adjust seasonings according to your taste buds.

Feel free to adjust the heat level with additional cayenne pepper if desired.

You can use a sugar substitute if desired, but it will affect the texture. Use your favorite barbecue sauce for a personal twist!

This recipe can be prepared in an Instant Pot or slow cooker for convenience.

If you prefer oven cooking, use a covered casserole dish at 350°F (180°C) for about 45 minutes to an hour, until heated through and bubbly.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days.

If stored properly, these beans can be enjoyed within four days of preparation.

Serve the Lava Lamp BBQ Beans hot in a casserole dish, garnished with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or green onions.
