List of Ingredients



• 2 cups (about 1 pound) dry pinto beans
  
• 2 cups barbecue sauce

3. Drain the beans and return to the saucepan. Add the barbecue sauce, cane syrup, coffee, bourbon, chopped brisket, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 30 minutes. Taste, and add kosher salt as needed.
