Grown-Up Beanie Weenie

My family absolutely loves beanie weenie. It is an old school dish that brings back a lot of fond memories for us. It was a dish is that it was super affordable and filling. It was easy on the wallet and easy to make. So, I thought, why not take that Beanie Weenie up a notch? In this Sausage Baked Beans recipe, I add some cooked and sliced Johnsonville Beer Brats and add a little extra flavoring (while still keeping things easy!) 

Now, let me show you how we’re going to make these delicious brats and beans! Feel free to use any flavor of Johnsonville sausage you love! Also, you do not need a Johnsonville Sizzling Sausage Griller to make this recipe. You can cook the sausages on the stovetop according to package directions or you can purchase sausages that are already cooked and ready to go.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

• Johnsonville sausages
• baked beans
• onion
• chili sauce
• mustard
• liquid smoke (optional)
• light brown sugar

HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE BAKED BEANS

If using a sausage grill, plug in your Johnsonville Sizzling Sausage Grill and place Johnsonville sausages directly on the plates. No need to spray with any nonstick spray as the plates are already nonstick. Note: If you aren’t making the whole pack of sausages, make sure one of the sausages is in the middle position. The internal temperature gauge is in the center position. It will make sure your Johnsonville sausages are cooked perfectly! Close lid and press down until you hear the ‘click’ sound of the lid locking into place. Click on the power button and the grill will do the rest!

If you aren’t using the sausage griller, cook the brats according to package directions. While the sausages are cooking, preheat oven to 350F degrees, then spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in both cans of baked beans.

Stir in diced onions, chili sauce, mustard and liquid smoke. Note: if you like the onions more soft, you can sauté them in some oil or butter first before adding to the beans.

Finally, stir in brown sugar.

The sausages only take about 10 minutes to cook. Once the timer beeps, carefully remove the sausages from the grill and place on a cutting board.

Cut sausages into 1-inch slices.

Add sliced sausage into bean mixture and gently stir.

Bake uncovered at 350F degrees for about an hour. Sauce should be dark in color and thickened.
