- 4 links, sliced into bite-sized pieces plant-based sausages
- 2 cans (15 oz each) canned baked beans
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the sliced plant-based sausages to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are lightly browned on the edges.
Stir in the canned baked beans, ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy your vegetarian Beanies N Weenies!
