Stunning! The aroma alone makes the mouth water while it is cooking. Absolutely delicious, not at all like the sweet or barbecue sauce baked beans I’m use to eating. I used my favorite pork sausage, mild, made by the Jordan Sausage Company. The sausage is very important in this dish because that is where most of the flavor comes from, so choose your favorite. However the sausage flavor is not overwhelming. I will definitely fix this again but next time with my favorite Italian sausage, and the next with Chorizo. I served it with grilled rib eye steaks marinated in recipe # 64805 “Melt in your mouth steak” by Chance777, cole slaw, and Texas toast. My DH ate two bowls, total 2 cups, and wants the leftovers tomorrow in a sourdough bread bowl with a side salad. I guess I won’t be freezing this one after all. Thanks elle watson for this one, definitely a keeper!! I can’t wait to take this to my next potluck!
