The Famous Rollins Baked Beans
1 1/2 pounds ground pork sausage (see comments on selecting just the right sausage in Part 1 of this article)
1 large (28 ounces or so) or 2 regular (15 ounces or so) cans pork 'n' beans
1/2 cup catsup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons vinegar
Fry the sausage until it is well done, breaking it into fairly small pieces, then drain off the fat. Add catsup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a boil briefly. Add the beans to the sausage and mix well. Pour the mixture into your bean pot (you do have a bean pot, don't you?) or a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
A few final comments:
This recipe works extremely well when doubled or tripled. Making large batches is a good idea; these beans really go fast! One pound of sausage (per recipe) works fairly well if the sausage has a good, hearty taste and you don't have the requisite pound and a half.
Be careful about your pork 'n' beans. I have had good results with cheap store brands--beans, after all, are just beans. The only thing that can foul up the results is using beans with too much liquid, making your baked beans too runny. (In my opinion, Van Camp's is too runny.)
I hope you'll give these baked beans a try. Be careful with your ingredients, and you're likely to end up with a dish that will be wildly popular and will get you invited to all sorts of wingdings and shindigs that you've never been invited to before. Who would have thought you could buy popularity with baked beans?
If you didn't click over to Part 1 of this article, you don't know how good these beans are and how much everyone loves them. You'd better go read it, don't you think?

The Bean Book Roy F. Guste, Jr., former proprietor of Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans and noted cookbook author, has put together this wonderful collection of recipes for bean dishes from around the world. Everything you can imagine is in here; the variety of recipes is amazing. It includes "light" versions and a full nutritional analysis of each recipe. How does Bourbon and Black Bean Pie sound?

Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker We usually feature bean cookbooks here, but this superb slow cooker (crock pot) cookbook has at least a hundred great bean recipes in it! My wife brought it home and I'm sold on it. The "Bean Main Dishes" section alone has 53 recipes. Recipes are short, simple, tasty, and don't use weird ingredients that you don't already have. And, while I'm excited about the bean recipes (the Sausage Bean Quickie will be the first one we try), the rest of the recipes also look wonderful. The cover says it's a "National #1 bestselling cookbook!" I believe it. Highly recommended by Bean Bible!
