Spicy Baked Beans Recipe

Spicy baked beans are always great to bring to a cookout. This recipe makes a spicy and delicious side dish for any night of the week. I also like to serve these baked beans with fried fish. If you are looking to make baked beans from scratch, this is not the way. What this recipe does is it uses a can of baked beans with pork and adds ingredients such as onion, bell pepper, pork sausage links, and various seasonings. Using canned beans saves times and allows you to create a delicious side dish with little work. If you cannot find spicy pork sausage links, regular ones will work as well. If you want to kick up the heat a little bit, a dash of cayenne pepper would be a good option. This recipe is also a great idea for a dish to prepare for football season. Enjoy.
