3. Brown 1 pound of sausage (Italian sausage recommended) lightly and place it in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
4. To the drippings in the skillet, add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped. Sauté for 3 minutes.
5. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of baked beans, ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to the skillet.
6. Stir the sauce to combine thoroughly.
7. Pour the bean mixture into the casserole dish on top of the browned sausage.
8. Bake for 10 minutes.

10. Stir until just moistened. Do not overmix.
11. Spoon the cornbread topping evenly over the baked bean mixture in the casserole dish.
12. Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and the beans are bubbly.
