Ingredients

  • 5 cans 16 oz baked beans
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup. Dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups. Trinity mix – cooked
  • 1/4 cup. ketchup
  • 2 -10oz. Rotel cans
  • 1/2 cup. BBQ Sauce
  • 1 ½ lb. Ground Turkey or beef
  • 1 small roll of  jimmy dean sage sausage (optional)
  • 6 slices cooked bacon chopped in1/4 inch pieces (optional for topping)
  • 1 stick of Butter (Kerry Gold garlic and herb)
  • 2 tsp. Onion powder
  • 2 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1 dash of liquid smoke
  • 2 tbsp. Dried parsley (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp. Yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp. Apple cider vinegar

Prep and Cooking Instructions:

Step 1

First, melt butter in a large Dutch pot. Next, add the ground turkey, sausage, and trinity mix (yellow onion, bell pepper, celery, green onion, parsley, and garlic). Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Then go ahead and begin cooking bacon; once that’s done, set it aside and let it cool before chopping. 

Step 2

Next, drain the excess liquid. Add the remainder of the ingredients to the pot (except bacon) and mix. Most of the liquid will reduce with the added ingredients to become a full-flavored sauce.

Step 3

Allow it to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can also place it into a baking dish and bake for 1 hour until thickened, hot and bubbly. Once the baked beans have simmered for 30 minutes, top them with bacon pieces and parsley.
