How to Make Dinosaur Bbq Style Baked Beans
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, seasoning with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed, crumbling it into the pot as it cooks. Brown the sausage completely, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain about ½ cup of liquid from a 28-ounce can of baked beans. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Add the drained baked beans to the pot, mixing well with the sausage and vegetables.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or let cool completely. Reheating in a Dutch oven over low heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) is recommended for best results.
- Enjoy these delicious baked beans as a hearty main course or side dish. They’re particularly amazing served with campfire-baked potatoes!
