Dinosaur Bbq Style Baked Beans

Total Time: 28 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 18 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 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

Recipe

• 1 heat olive oil to medium-high in a large saucepan, and cook onion and pepper until soft, adding salt and pepper.
• 2 when softened, add garlic and cook another minute.
• 3 add sausage, crumbling it into small pieces while it cooks.
• 4 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.
• 5 turn the heat down to medium-low and add remaining ingredients. cook for 5-7 minutes.
• 6 serve immediately, or let cool and reheat. we loved this the next day, as the flavors had a chance to really mix.
