This recipe was absolutely delicious! I really did wow people at my barbeque.
Everyone at the barbeque was falling all over this dish, and asking for the recipe.
The only complaint that I received was that I didn’t make enough for everyone to have second or thirds!I did leave out the pork sausage and bell peppers, however, so maybe it would be
even better with these two pieces. But the combination of chili powder, Worcheshire sauce,
and garlic power was key to the spicy, sassy taste.BEST BAKED BEAN recipe ever!!!!!!

I dont know if it’s just me, but I did not really care for this recipe. I bet the brand, etc. of baked beans makes a big difference. I bought the Bush’s Original, and the end result was a too tomato-ie flavor to these beans. My hubby ate them, but he’ll eat just about anything that doesn’t bite him back. This got such good reviews though, so I’m thinking it was the brand of the beans, maybe this is better with B&M brand or something.

I thought this was just ok. For my tastes, it was too sweet – but the rest of my family liked it. They’d give the recipe a 4-star rating. If I were to change anything, I’d use more beans and less brown sugar and maybe a little more worcestershire sauce. The onion, bell pepper and sausage were a good addition.

I made this recipe with a half-pound of ground turkey instead of sausage and it was excellent. I thought all that chili powder would make this dish too spicy, but it didn’t. Be sure to use a big enough baking dish because it may boil over as it did for me. I will definitely make this again.

FAAANN-FRIGGGING-TASTIC! Great way to serve beans. BEST beans ever, comments I got from my guests “restaurant quality”, “best beans I’ve EVER had”, “may I take some home”, “can I have the recipe”, etc. PLEASE DRAIN the liquid from the beans before putting in dutch oven. Use different color bell peppers to make it attractive (I like yellow and green… or red & green for xmas). Perfect mix of flavors. TRY THIS RECIPE. (Did I mention drain the beans?)

This one is definitely a winner! I can’t say enough about just how wonderful these were. I made them last night and with just the three of us….there was not anything left. I used a can of bushes country style bean and they are already pretty thick so I had no problem, even after adding the rest of the ingredients to get them to thicken up. The only thing that I did differnt was…I only added about a tablesoon of chili powder as I thought that 2 would have been a little too much. My son, who hardly ever eats beans…had two helpings 🙂 This is a definite must try for everyone out there. You will love them. Thank you Daphne!

I thought this recipe was o.k. but no one else did
I think it was all the vinegar! I would at least cut the amount in half.I’m not sure about the amount of chili powder either..I will still try making this again with some adjustments.I really liked the idea of the sausage.I’m going to tone it down a bit next time. -

This is now my husbands favorite baked beans. He always raved over his mom’s baked beans, but when I made these last week he said “These baked beans kick butt!” I did make a few adjustments, since I made them for a cookout I used 2 cans of baked beans (bush’s country style), 1 tbsp of chili powder, and only 2 tbsps of vinegar. They were not too spicy, but had a nice kick to them. They were a hit!

WOW, this was so easy and I was able to put it together from what I had at home. I used Trader Joe’s Baked Beans (liquid drained, though there wasn’t much), Smoked Chicken and Turkey sausages (also from Trader Joes), I omitted the bell pepper because I didn’t have one, I only used 1 Tablespoon of chili powder as mentioned by a previous reviewer, I only had 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce left, I used Apple Cider Vinegar, Sucanat (Sugar Cane Natural), fruit-juice sweetened ketchup, and some hot sauce. This is a super versatile recipe and I will definitely make it again! This would be great for a potluck. THANK YOU.

My wife and I thought this was a fabulous recipe, though my brother did not like them. They are a definite surprise if you prefer “tried and true.” I concur with other reviewers: 1) only used one tablespoon of chili powder–that seems about right, 2) the beans were way too runny. I drained the beans completely and they were still awfully runny, 3) I may cut down on the brown sugar next time. Indeed, they were very sweet (but wonderful). I used Italian white wine vinagar, which was fabulous, though next time I may cut back on the vinegar to see how it turns out. Obviously, the vinegar contributes to the excessive liquid state. The taste of these beans were absolutely awesome–a sweet/sour contrast which is jacked up a notch with the sausage. Excellent!

this recipe is almost the recipe that i make..i use a bigger can of beans just the plain kind and drain them..i only use about a tablespoon of vinegar and a tablespoon of worcestershire and 2 teaspoons of chili powder and don’t use garlic powder at all. i uncover the last 30 minutes and it thickens the beans…hope this is helpful..daphne

I made this recipe today for the first time and it was a huge hit. I used 3 cans of Bush Country Style beans drained and 3 T. apple cider vinegar, 3 T. chili powder, 7 T. Worcestershire sauce, 9 pork sausage links, 3 t. garlic, one large onion, 1 c. brown sugar and 1 c ketchup. I didn’t use any bell pepper, salt or cayenne pepper. I will make this dish again and again.

Wow! Outstanding baked beans! I have been making the same recipe now for over 20 years, it is my Mother’s recipe but decided to try something new and instead of there being lots of leftovers, with this recipe, there were none! For those of you that are afraid to ‘stray’ away from your tried and true recipe’s, this one will not fail you!

This recipe is almost perfect! I use a pound of hot pork sausage no skins, comes like a jimmy dean sausage for a stuffing. I use Campbells beans I drain. I use three 11oz.cans. This is always a hit, I get people asking me to make this and it is always gone. Thank you for the recipe. We do not have all the things on Long Island. God this is so great! Thank you!

These turned out great! I thought the chili poweder added a great kick to sweet beans. I used the molasses and pork kind because I figured they would work best with the recipe. We didn’t even taste the vinegar in them at all, perhaps it’s the kind of vinegar other reviewers used, we used white vinegar. If you are planning on serving them to kids however I might cut the chili powder a bit, as my kids said they were too spicy. Thanks for sharing this quick easy recipe for doctoring up canned beans!

Dee-licious! As a fellow Texan, I give this a big two thumbs up. My kids and husband loved it too. I did make a few changes. I sauteed the onions and garlic first. I omitted the bell pepper and ketchup (personal preference). I added a can of kidney beans, drained, to have enough to feed my family of 5. I added a little less chili pepper than called for, for the kids’ sake, and left out the optional cayenne. I also threw in a little extra salisbury steak we had left over. I resisted the urge to throw in some liquid smoke and I’m glad I did because the beans didn’t need it at all. I mixed it all up and warmed it in the crock pot for a couple hours instead of in the oven. This will go into our regular rotation for sure. The perfect way to use up leftover sausage, hot dogs or hamburger meat. Thanks for such a yummy and easy recipe!

Loved these! I only used half an onion and still thought that was too much onion, so next time I will use a little less. I accidentally left out the brown sugar and didn’t miss it – maybe next time I will add it and see. These beans are very different from “plain” baked beans and just what I was looking for. This is a keeper!

Can’t say these beans suited our taste perfectly, but they came pretty darn close! They really are delicious and my husband went on and on about them. I atually sauted my onions and peppers and ground pork all together and added the other ingredients to the pot before baking. I didn’t drain my beans and I had no problem with too much liquid. I am looking forward to cooking these in a crock pot this weekend for a BBQ at my home. I am sure everyone will love them!

my husband loved this and he is a Texan. i thought it was very good. I would rate it five if any of the heat in the dish was at the tip of the tongue rather than all at the end of the bite. I did add a pinch of the reccommended cayenne pepper and also 5 dashes of tobasco. Would more of these help accomplish an initial spiciness? I also wonder if it could achieve the tangy flavor without quite so many calories.

This recipe was fantastic. Not the traditional baked bean, but no one was disappointed, they were gone in a flash. I loved the kick these beans had but I will lessen the chili powder just a tad next time, a little overpowering I am thinking 1 1/2 instead of 2 TBLS. I also used about a half lb. of ground pork (regular flavored)sausage instead of the links so it would be more evenly distributed and it worked great.

I absolutely love this recipe, though people with a more sensitive palate may find it a bit too potent. It certainly has a kick to it! To make it a bit more healthy, I use a can of baked beans without pork, and use less sausage. I also try to sneak in a bit more cayenne when my wife’s not looking. Excellent for clearing sinuses and waking up sleepy dinner guests. I hear Chuck Norris ate this when he was a baby. 😉

I brought these to an elderly picnic and thus left out the cayenne and used regular sausage links. I received a few compliments. My husband enjoyed the sweetness of them. I thought they were too sweet, but I used brown sugar Splenda (less than called for) & Splenda may be sweeter than the real thing. I used more chili powder and vinegar than called for to cut back on the sweetness and did not find them very spicy at all. Also used 3 times as many sausage links to evenly distribute. Fried up the onion, green pepper and used fresh garlic and you can never get enough of that in beans. All in all a very hearty baked bean recipe with a sweet and sour type flavor. I will make again…with less sugar and with the spiciness and expect they will be great.

These were good. I used only 2 T. vinegar and 1 1/2 T. chili powder but kept everything else the same. My one comment is that I drained the beans first based on what one reviewer said about them drowning in sauce. It was a mistake. They were then too dry. Flavor was very good, although not traditional.

Ok, I didn’t use the pepper(nobody in my family would have eaten them if I had) and I couldn’t find the spicy sausage links or anything close to it at our grocery store, but……
Oh my these beans were YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!!! I loved that they were a little spicy, not too sweet and lots of tangy. I took about 6 strips of bacon and cut them into 1 inch squares, cooked them a little bit, then put them on top of the beans while they were baking. You can’t ever go wrong with a little bacon, right?
I will be making these again!!!!
Thanks for such a great recipe! -

I have been using this recipe for a couple years now, at least, and thought I’d finally rate it. These are fantastic. I use 3 cans of baked beans, not just one. I omit the bell pepper and cayenne and use ground sausage instead of links and then follow everything else to a T. They are spicy enough for a little kick, but not too spicy! I have gotten many many compliments over the years and been asked for the recipe several times. It’s a staple in our house for cookouts and potlucks and always will be.

I didn’t have chili powder so I used 1/2 cup chili sauce instead of the ketchup. I also used the juice from my jar of jalapeno peppers instead of the vinegar. Of course I had to add some chopped jalapeno – about 2 tablespoons’ worth. This came out a tad more spicy which is what we like. If you want to kick up the heat from the original recipe this is a great version!

These were good, but were a little sweet for my taste. I made the recipe as follows except I did not use the hot sausage and I only used one T of chili powder because mine is fresh and spicey. I used 2 cans of beans and drained the one can, but I wish I had drained both. I think it ends up soupy because the lid is kept on the beans the entire cooking time. Next time I make these I will cut the brown sugar down to 1/4 C, drain both cans of beans and take the lid off the last 15 minutes of cooking that should allow the beans to thicken up a bit. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of my favorites, and is a hit every time I make it. I like to use beans that have brown sugar, onions, etc already it them. I also leave a little more of the juice from the beans out and add a little bit of BBQ sauce. I have also made huge batches with 3 28 ounce cans of beans and 2 lbs of sausage. Get the extra hot sausage!

This recipe tastes delicious, but it should be called “Texas Ranger Baked Bean Soup.” That’s why I only gave it 4 stars. I used a slotted spoon to remove the beans and just a small amount of juice from the soup. If I make it again I will drain the beans. Also, it was a little too spicy hot for my taste, though my husband likes it that way. I used cajun sausage, which I won’t do next time.

I always drain the pork and beans when making baked beans, so this was not soupy for me at all. I didn’t have the sausage but my family loves this recipe. I am use to ketchup/mustard/brown sugar baked beans so this was a new refreshing way to eat them. I will be making these again and again. Thanks for the recipe.

I dont eat baked beans but my fiance loves them. He always talked about a friends mother making the best baked beans ever, and after tasting these said these were even better than hers!!! Ive been making them this way ever since. I used bacon instead of sausage but as for everything else, i use exactly as written above:] From all the compliments I get, this is an AWESOME recipe!

I’ve made these beans numerous times this summer for cookouts and always get rave reviews. The only modification I make is to leave the sausage out and add 1 can of Great Northern beans, then put it all in the crock pot on high for 4 hrs. Leftover beans are great warmed up the next day!

I am giving this 5 stars because these beans are awsome indeed. However, let me tell you my bean story. My dad has been making “his famous beans” since I can remember and they are some kind of version of these except he eyeballs all the ingredients. The 3 ingredient that are going to make or break the recipe are the vinegar, brn sugar and ketchup which is why i looked up the recipe. When you eyeball every time they tend to always be slightly off so I wanted exact amounts. I am an all recipes junky and I wanted a guideline because I always get bombarded with raves about my beans. when to me they have “tasted better”. So heres the thing, everyone has different tastes. Try making these beans with a whole slab of regular bacon instead of the sausage. Let it brown until it is as crispy as it gets until it burns. add in your onion and peppers and continue to saute for 10 min or so until they are nicely browned. Dont worry, the liquid from the veggies will keep the bacon from getting browner, trust me, the bacon somehow stops cooking. If you dont let the bacon get very well done first you will end up with soggy bacon. anyways, then add your beans and try starting out with 2 tbsp vinegar, 1/4 C brn sugar, 1/4 C ketchup. If it isnt quite right for you at that time, try adding equal amounts until it is to your desired flavor. This recipe is way too sweet for me, and I love putting sugar in almost all my sauces. I could tell when i made it that is was way more than i had
