Very Very Very GOOD! My pickcy son LOVES them. If yours are a little "soupy" just take the lid off the pot the last 15 minutes or so of baking time! i also used, precooked bacon instead of the sausage. Thanks for the Excellant Recipe!

I brought these to an elderly picnic and thus left out the cayenne and used regular sausage links. I received a few compliments. My husband enjoyed the sweetness of them. I thought they were too sweet, but I used brown sugar Splenda (less than called for) & Splenda may be sweeter than the real thing. I used more chili powder and vinegar than called for to cut back on the sweetness and did not find them very spicy at all. Also used 3 times as many sausage links to evenly distribute. Fried up the onion, green pepper and used fresh garlic and you can never get enough of that in beans. All in all a very hearty baked bean recipe with a sweet and sour type flavor. I will make again...with less sugar and with the spiciness and expect they will be great.

A lot of work, but well worth it. I can't go anywhere without taking this recipe any more....always requested!. I cook my onion, pepper and sausage, then add other ingredients and let simmer on stove top instead of putting in oven. GREAT left over too!

I absolutely love this recipe, though people with a more sensitive palate may find it a bit too potent. It certainly has a kick to it! To make it a bit more healthy, I use a can of baked beans without pork, and use less sausage. I also try to sneak in a bit more cayenne when my wife's not looking. Excellent for clearing sinuses and waking up sleepy dinner guests. I hear Chuck Norris ate this when he was a baby. ;)

This recipe was fantastic. Not the traditional baked bean, but no one was disappointed, they were gone in a flash. I loved the kick these beans had but I will lessen the chili powder just a tad next time, a little overpowering I am thinking 1 1/2 instead of 2 TBLS. I also used about a half lb. of ground pork (regular flavored)sausage instead of the links so it would be more evenly distributed and it worked great.

I made this for a Memorial Day cook-out. As advised by others, I drained the beans, used 1t of vinegar, 2t chili powder and 1T Worcestershire. Everyone loved it and have requested it for the Labor Day cook-out! Thanks!

my husband loved this and he is a Texan. i thought it was very good. I would rate it five if any of the heat in the dish was at the tip of the tongue rather than all at the end of the bite. I did add a pinch of the reccommended cayenne pepper and also 5 dashes of tobasco. Would more of these help accomplish an initial spiciness? I also wonder if it could achieve the tangy flavor without quite so many calories.

I have made theses over and over, they are the hit of any dinner. I read the reviews first (as always) and I did cut back on the vinegar. Every cook out party I am asked to bring the beans.

Can't say these beans suited our taste perfectly, but they came pretty darn close! They really are delicious and my husband went on and on about them. I atually sauted my onions and peppers and ground pork all together and added the other ingredients to the pot before baking. I didn't drain my beans and I had no problem with too much liquid. I am looking forward to cooking these in a crock pot this weekend for a BBQ at my home. I am sure everyone will love them!
