Jeanette A.

Love this recipe! It has become my go-to for any barbecue dish that I make (pulled pork sandwiches, brisket, ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.) as one of my side dishes. I use Jimmy Dean's maple or sage sausage or just some Italian sausage in place of the ground beef. They have their own seasoning so they come already with great flavor. I also use half a cup of ketchup and the other half of my favorite barbecue sauce. Again, the bbq sauce already has flavor and adds to that smoky flavor profile. I also only drain half the bacon grease (the other half I store in the frig adding to a jar of bacon grease I keep for future use) and keep it and add it to the beans with the bacon. Another way to add more flavor. The beans don't come out greasy because the beans themselves absorb the bacon fat.
