Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links smoked sausages
- 3 cups canned navy beans
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the smoked sausages into 1/2-inch pieces.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausages to the skillet and cook them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Add the canned navy beans (drained and rinsed) and the browned sausage slices back into the skillet, stirring to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and taste to adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer the skillet or Dutch oven to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Carefully remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
