Hearty, flavorful, nutritious, and healthy, Stovetop Bourbon Bacon and Sausage Baked Beans recipe thick and meaty. They make the perfect complement to your game day table, potluck, or barbecue all year.

I’m still celebrating National Bourbon Heritage Month with Stovetop Bourbon Bacon and Sausage Baked Beans. I realize Baked Beans are largely a summer side dish with all things grilled. I like the flavorful recipe the fall. The warm, complex flavors go well with cooler fall weather and game day foods.

Actually, these beans make a hearty, filling dinner or delicious side dish. These beans are two dashes of chili powder away from being a nice chili. 😁

And, Stovetop Bourbon Bacon and Sausage Baked Beans has a nice depth of flavors including bourbon, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, two kinds of meats, and four different beans.

I started with canned beans so there is no overnight soaking. This makes prep time quick and easy.

If you’re not a fan of one of the types of beans I used, substitute your favorite bean instead. I know black beans are not traditionally used in baked bean recipes, but I like the taste of them and use them whenever I can.

Do you want more of a barbecue flavor? Substitute barbecue sauce for the ketchup.

I used pork breakfast sausage, but Mexican chorizo sausage would really spice up these beans.

As always, adjust the seasonings to your tastes.

Additionally, this recipe is better after the beans sit overnight. This is perfect for parties and potlucks. Make them the day before your event and simply reheat.

Finally, Stovetop Bourbon Bacon and Sausage Baked Beans can be made in a slow cooker. You’ll need to cook them on high 2 to 3 hours.
