Ingredients

  • 3 cans pork and beans drained
  • 1 ea green bell pepper minced
  • 1 ea onion minced
  • 1/2 cup diced pimentos drained
  • 2 Tbsp mustard
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 lb breakfast sausage

Instructions

  • In a large pot brown the sausage and break it up as it is cooking.
  • Mince the onion and green pepper. Add these to the sausage about half way thru cooking and cook until the onions are translucent.
  • Open and drain the pork & beans in a colander. There is no need to rinse them, just allow the excess sauce to drain away.
  • Add the mustard and brown sugar to the sausage and mix to combine.
  • After the sugar is melted and combined add the beans and drained diced pimentos. Bring to a simmer.
  • Allow The Best Damn Baked Beans to simmer on low for about an hour for the flavors to combine. Be sure to stir them every now and again. Enjoy!

Notes

Wait a minute, the best damn baked beans aren't baked?  OK so maybe your right, they should be, who knows.  If you need to bake them to call them baked beans then rather than simmering on the stove top put them in the oven at 300 for about an hour.  Just don't forget to check them and stir accordingly.  Also if you put the same pot you have been using in the oven, well be sure its oven save. Otherwise your gonna have a stinkin' mess.
