Mike says- “I made this recipe for dinner tonight and all I can say “Wow!” This dish was utterly fantastic! I actually put the bacon into the ingredients at the beginning and the taste was incredible!
Easy to make, a very delicious dish!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not only is this recipe flavored with bacon, but the slices of smoked sausage, (I used kielbasa), make it feel like a main dish casserole instead of a side.

And you may like it so much that you want to eat it as a main dish. I think that’s perfectly acceptable. 🙂

Just like any delicious baked bean recipe, this recipe has plenty of sweetness. A combination of ketchup, molasses, and light brown sugar provides the sweetness. A little apple cider vinegar, mustard, and Tabasco sauce balances the sweetness.

It cooks in the oven in an uncovered Dutch oven until nice and thick, which really concentrates the flavors.
