For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce to control the level of spiciness. Feel free to substitute your favorite types of beans. These beans are even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld together.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy and evenly browned. Drain the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. (Approximately 10-12 minutes)
02
StepAdd the ground beef, sausage, and crushed garlic to the Dutch oven. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until well done. Drain any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent. (Approximately 15 minutes)
03
StepStir in the dark brown sugar, maple syrup, ketchup, yellow mustard, and chipotle sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring often, and cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Approximately 20 minutes)
04
StepAdd the crumbled bacon, baked beans, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, great Northern beans, and cannellini beans to the Dutch oven. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (Approximately 20 minutes)
05
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
06
StepSeason the bean mixture with chili powder and salt to taste, adjusting the amount to your preference. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
07
StepPlace the Dutch oven on the prepared baking sheet on the lowest rack of the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the beans are bubbling and the sauce has thickened. (Approximately 30 minutes)
08
StepRemove the Dutch oven from the oven and let the beans stand for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to further develop and the sauce to thicken slightly. (Approximately 10 minutes)
