A grill out in the South would not be complete without baked beans. My spicy sausage baked beans are smoky and tangy, but perfectly balanced with my secret ingredient. Cola adds rich sweetness to balance out those bold flavors. Oh, and did I mention how easy this is to throw together? The perfect side for a stress-free grill out.

Ingredients

House Seasoning:

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Preheat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until rendered and beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet, then add the onions. Season with the salt and pepper and saute until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Add the sausage, beans, cola, molasses, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and House Seasoning. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Transfer to an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish and bake until reduced and thickened, about 1 hour.
