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.
