DINOSAUR BBQ STYLE BAKED BEANS

Dinosaur BBQ Style Baked Beans image

I have always disliked baked beans, but I was served and couldn't stop eating these. A few years later I found out it was a recipe from Dinosaur Barbecue, a famous restaurant based in Rochester, NY. I searched the internet for a version of the recipe not using Dinosaur BBQ's "Mutha Sauce," and doubled the amount of Italian sausage to make them really meaty. I cooked this in a cast-iron dutch oven and brought it camping the next day. It was amazing reheated and great with potatoes baked in the fire. It's almost like chili and very filling. NOTE: I'm not sure about the serving amount. This really makes plenty, and everyone ate several big helpings.

Time 28m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 (28 ounce) cans baked beans (I used Bush's Homestyle. Choose a less-sweet variety.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more, if you love garlic)
1 lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (I accidentally only put 1 in when I made this, still loved it)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil to medium-high in a large saucepan, and cook onion and pepper until soft, adding salt and pepper.
When softened, add garlic and cook another minute.
Add sausage, crumbling it into small pieces while it cooks.
Drain some of the liquid from the beans- make it about the same level in the can as the beans themselves. Mix into the sausage/veggies.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and add remaining ingredients. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
Serve immediately, or let cool and reheat. We loved this the next day, as the flavors had a chance to really mix.

Tips:

Use high-quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the meatloaf. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Add some vegetables to the meatloaf. This will help keep it moist and flavorful. Good options include onions, garlic, celery, carrots, and mushrooms.
Use a variety of spices and seasonings. This will give the meatloaf a complex flavor. Good options include chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help it keep its shape and cook evenly.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
