About

These aren't your ordinary beans. Oh no, most other beans can't compare with our Best Beans & Sausage Bake; that's how they got the name after all! This dish brings together classic beans including pinto, black-eyed, and kidney, creating a symphony of bean flavors: tender, savory, creamy, nutty, slightly earthy, and more! Each and every bean contributes to the flavor melody and soaks up the umami, sweet, smoky, and sour sauce! Spicy pork sausage ups the succulence and meatiness and makes each bite a blast! This Best Beans & Sausage Bake makes every other baked bean dish a "has-bean!"
