Ingredients

  • 10-12 oz Thick cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 1 (12oz) Fully cooked beef sausage link, 1/2 inch, sliced at an angle
  • 3 (28oz) Cans original baked beans
  • 1/4 cup Pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Spicy brown mustard
  • 2 tbsp Molasses
  • 1/4 cup Good quality ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Unfiltered apple cider vinegar, optional

Method

  1. Fry the bacon in a large dutch oven or soup pot set over medium heat. When the bacon is cooked through, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a paper towel lined plate. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons bacon grease into a heat proof container.
  2. Add the onion and sausage to the pot. Cook onion until soft and translucent and the sausage begins to brown on both sides.
  3. Add the beans, syrup, mustard, molasses, ketchup and vinegar to a large pot set over medium heat. Stir until ingredients are fully incorporated. Add the Bacon, onions and sausage. Heat through and serve.

**Transfer these to a crock-pot to keep them warm for a longer time.
