Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds bulk spicy pork sausage

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 can (31 ounces) pork and beans

1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained

1-1/2 cups ketchup

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

1 Saute the sausage

2 In a large skillet, cook and crumble the sausage over medium heat until cooked through and no longer pink. Drain off the fat and return the pan to the heat. Add the green pepper and onion and sauté until they're tender. Drain any excess liquid and add the canned pork and beans, kidney beans, great northern beans, black-eyed peas, pinto beans, chickpeas, ketchup, brown sugar and ground mustard to the skillet, stirring to incorporate.

3 Bake the beans

4 Pour the bean mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake it at 325ºF for one hour. Remove the foil and bake the beans for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until they're bubbly.
