By JJCR

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 large onion, chopped
• 3/4 cup chopped green pepper
• Pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper
• 3 large cloves garlic, chopped
• 8 oz hot Italian sausage, removed from casing
• 2 cans (28 oz each) baked beans, preferably Bush's

• 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. Creole Seasoning
• 1 tbsp. molasses

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook til soft adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

2. Crumble sausage into the veggies and cook, chopping to break the meat into small pieces. Cook til the pink disappears. Drain off some of the bean liquid in each can so that it's at the same height as the beans; then mix the contents of both cans into the cooked veggies and sausage.

3. Turn down the heat down to medium-low and add all the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve immediately, or cool and reheat before serving (lettin' the flavors blend a while never hurts)
