Smoked sausage is a delicious addition to baked beans. This recipe makes a great side dish to go with all kinds of different meals. I served it with grilled chicken. Canned pork and beans are mixed with various ingredients and then baked in the oven. The smoked sausage is first cooked in the pan and then mixed with the beans. If you want you can prepare this recipe in a Dutch oven. This recipe gets a lot of flavor from ingredients such as molasses, apple cider vinegar and mustard. Enjoy.
