This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BBQWeek. I received product samples from sponsors to use in creating #BBQWeek recipes. However, all opinions are mine alone.
It's day 3 of #BBQWeek hosted by Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures. If you haven't checked in with me yet, this week is full of recipes made for grilling or for BBQ's. Over 20 bloggers are participating in this event this week and we have some great sponsors that have put together an awesome giveaway that you can win.
One of the sponsors is Not Ketchup. I've worked with them a few times before and have tried out most of their sauces. They're all delicious but for this recipe I decided to go with the Cherry Chipotle All Purpose Sauce.
When I was looking for recipes for the event, I realized that I'd never made baked beans before. I wasn't a huge fan of them as a child and we didn't have them very often at parties or BBQ's so I guess I just never thought to make them. I still remember the first time I had them and realized how good they were. It was a potluck work event and the wife of a coworker had made them. It's probably been at least a decade since then, but every time I see homemade baked beans, that's what I think of.
Not Ketchup is a line of fruit gourmet grilling and dipping sauces with no added sugar, no corn syrup and no artificial sweeteners. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, paleo, vegan, low-carb and Whole30 friendly. To find out more about them, check out their social media pages:
