This was good, but also very sweet, so I would omit the white sugar. I prepared a batch and a half of the recipe, but I did drain one of the cans of beans. The other 2 added enough liquid, besides the ketchup, bbq sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. I also substituted yellow prepared mustard for the mustard powder, and added 5 weiners, sliced (about a 1/2 a pound), after I lightly browned the sausage just a bit, then finished browning the sausage. I baked the bean mixture for exactly 50 minutes (uncovered). I will definitely make this dish again. After all, I have plenty of already seasoned ground pork sausage in the freezer to use up. This is a great side dish to serve at any potluck or famliy function. Thank you Maybelle Miller for posting this recipe. It's definitely a keeper!!

Exactly what I was looking for...a simple and delicious canned baked beans doctored up a bit. Used bacon instead of sausage as that is a taste preference and I omitted the white sugar as the other reviewers recommended. Serving was perfect for the 6 guests I had over for BBQ.

This was very easy to make (put in slowcooker for 5 hrs. on high), and it was quite good. I prefer sweet beans, that's why I chose this recipie. My dh's grandfather said over and over they were the best beans he's ever had. That's a pretty good compliment to the recipie. I have had better, so that's why it's a 4 for me. I'd make them again. I used a pound of turkey bacon instead of sausage...that was the only hard part, cooking all that bacon.

I have been using this recipe for years and everyone loves it. I use lite sausage to cut down on the fat and it turns out great.

These were very good. I agree with most of the other reviewers though...I think the white sugar would have just made it way too sweet (which is the only reason I gave this recipe 4 stars). I did add the 1/2 cup of brown sugar though, and I think it has just the right amount of sweetness. I also added some fresh minced garlic and used spicy Italian sausage. I liked the combo of sweet with the heat. Thanks for the recipe...very good.

I didn't add the white sugar because of other reviewers and I loved this recipe. The sausage is a must. Thanks for the recipe.

I made this recipe as directed (omitting the white sugar), but there was something missing. So I used stone ground mustard and added some Texas Pete hot sauce to them for a bite and they came out perfect. Will definately make again!

So good. I brought this to a friend's barbecue tonight and it was a huge hit. I followed the recipe exactly except for the granulated sugar, which I left out. And I also increased the bake time to about an hour and a half. I'll make this many times before the summer's over.

This is a very easy dish to make. I omited the white sugar all together and used 1/2 cup of brown sugar and it still turned out very sweet. I increased the mustard to 1 tsp. I would of liked this recipe better if it was a little less sweet. The sweetness could be due to the brand of barbeque sauce I used. I baked this 70 minutes to make it thicker. I would make this again but adjust the amount of sugar.

Very good flavor. I followed some earlier reviewers advice, did not use any white sugar and substituted bacon for sausage. I also used Bush's maple cured bacon flavored beans. I have made them twice in a two week period and both times they received rave reviews. I only used half the recommended meat as I thought the full amount would make the beans too salty. Thanks for sharing.
