ingredients
- 2 (28 ounce) cans baked beans (I used Bush's Homestyle. Choose a less-sweet variety.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or more, if you love garlic)
- 1 lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (I accidentally only put 1 in when I made this, still loved it)
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
directions
- Heat olive oil to medium-high in a large saucepan, and cook onion and pepper until soft, adding salt and pepper.
- When softened, add garlic and cook another minute.
- Add sausage, crumbling it into small pieces while it cooks.
- Drain some of the liquid from the beans- make it about the same level in the can as the beans themselves. Mix into the sausage/veggies.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add remaining ingredients. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Serve immediately, or let cool and reheat. We loved this the next day, as the flavors had a chance to really mix.

Hey! I'm a college student, majoring in both mechanical engineering and computer science. I've been cooking simple stuff at home for as long as I remember, but now that I'm at school, I've been trying to expand my horizons a bit. I decided to not get a meal plan this year, so I've really had to practice being self-sufficient. Luckily, I learn quickly and thoroughly enjoy cooking. I'm super proud of myself- I made my family's Thanksgiving turkey this year, and it turned out great! I figure that means I'm getting better at this cooking business.
