I just made this for company and all commented on how good it was. I omitted the cayenne pepper and used hot rolled sausage and it gave it a nice little kick. Will definetly make it again.

My wife and I thought this was a fabulous recipe, though my brother did not like them. They are a definite surprise if you prefer "tried and true." I concur with other reviewers: 1) only used one tablespoon of chili powder--that seems about right, 2) the beans were way too runny. I drained the beans completely and they were still awfully runny, 3) I may cut down on the brown sugar next time. Indeed, they were very sweet (but wonderful). I used Italian white wine vinagar, which was fabulous, though next time I may cut back on the vinegar to see how it turns out. Obviously, the vinegar contributes to the excessive liquid state. The taste of these beans were absolutely awesome--a sweet/sour contrast which is jacked up a notch with the sausage. Excellent!

WOW, this was so easy and I was able to put it together from what I had at home. I used Trader Joe's Baked Beans (liquid drained, though there wasn't much), Smoked Chicken and Turkey sausages (also from Trader Joes), I omitted the bell pepper because I didn't have one, I only used 1 Tablespoon of chili powder as mentioned by a previous reviewer, I only had 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce left, I used Apple Cider Vinegar, Sucanat (Sugar Cane Natural), fruit-juice sweetened ketchup, and some hot sauce. This is a super versatile recipe and I will definitely make it again! This would be great for a potluck. THANK YOU.

I cut in half the chili powder, vinegar and brown sugar after reading other reviews. It was wonderful and will definately be made again.

This is now my husbands favorite baked beans. He always raved over his mom's baked beans, but when I made these last week he said "These baked beans kick butt!" I did make a few adjustments, since I made them for a cookout I used 2 cans of baked beans (bush's country style), 1 tbsp of chili powder, and only 2 tbsps of vinegar. They were not too spicy, but had a nice kick to them. They were a hit!

I thought this recipe was o.k. but no one else did I think it was all the vinegar! I would at least cut the amount in half.I'm not sure about the amount of chili powder either..I will still try making this again with some adjustments.I really liked the idea of the sausage.I'm going to tone it down a bit next time.

This one is definitely a winner! I can't say enough about just how wonderful these were. I made them last night and with just the three of us....there was not anything left. I used a can of bushes country style bean and they are already pretty thick so I had no problem, even after adding the rest of the ingredients to get them to thicken up. The only thing that I did differnt was...I only added about a tablesoon of chili powder as I thought that 2 would have been a little too much. My son, who hardly ever eats beans...had two helpings :) This is a definite must try for everyone out there. You will love them. Thank you Daphne!

I changed this recipe a lot from the ingredients and the type of beans I used. I started all the way from scratch. Being I varied this recipe too much, I do not feel I can give it a valid rating, however the end result was very good.

FAAANN-FRIGGGING-TASTIC! Great way to serve beans. BEST beans ever, comments I got from my guests "restaurant quality", "best beans I've EVER had", "may I take some home", "can I have the recipe", etc. PLEASE DRAIN the liquid from the beans before putting in dutch oven. Use different color bell peppers to make it attractive (I like yellow and green... or red & green for xmas). Perfect mix of flavors. TRY THIS RECIPE. (Did I mention drain the beans?)

These were a pretty good way to liven up canned baked beans, but not amazing or anything.

Wayyyyy too sweet & vinegar-y! BUT, my brother-in-law who is the "king" of making baked beans liked it! I think the vinegar was the main thing that gave a "sour" taste (I didn't even put in as much as it was called for). I think a wise thing to remember in many recipes is to not put in as much spices to begin with to see if it fits your taste. One can always add the required amount or more.

Great recipe. Just the right amount of spice, sweet and sour. I did take the cover off the last 20 min. or so and the dish was just the right consistancy. Will make this often for our barbeques! Thanks Daphne!

Very good taste, but far too runny. I would recommend removing the cover after 30 minutes to thicken it up. I put it back in the oven at 400 degrees for another 15 min. and consistency and flavor was much better.

I made this recipe with a half-pound of ground turkey instead of sausage and it was excellent. I thought all that chili powder would make this dish too spicy, but it didn't. Be sure to use a big enough baking dish because it may boil over as it did for me. I will definitely make this again.
