Notes
If you are traveling with the smoked baked beans don't make it in a skillet, instead use a 9x13 aluminum pan. It's light and you can leave it at the party. Use 2 or three pans since the dish is heavy so the pan doesn't bent. you can remove the other pans once you get it to the table.
You can keep leftovers refrigerated for up to five days. If you want to freeze the beans place them in a plastic quart or pint container with a lid. be sure to label and date the beans and they will keep for up to 6 months.
To Reheat the beans make sure they are thawed and add to a pan with a few tablespoons of water. simmer on low until the beans are hot.
