Ingredients
- 3-4 slices bacon
- 6-8 oz sausage Cut into rounds. I used smoked sausage.
- 28-30 oz canned beans Drained. I used navy beans.
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1-3 tablespoons brown sugar or sweetener I use 1 1/2 tablespoons.
Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium high heat and add the bacon and sausage rounds. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the sausage has browned.
- Drain any excess fat.
- Add in beans, ketchup, BBQ sauce, chili powder, and brown sugar or sweetener. Stir. Taste the mixture repeatedly to ensure the flavor meets your tastes. I don't add any salt because I feel the bacon adds enough. Taste and decide if you want to add salt or any other flavor.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
