Baking

These beans have a great balance of savory and sweet, with a little smoke and kick thanks to the Andouille sausage and the chili flakes. The recipe is economical and quick to throw together (although the beans cook for a long time). These beans will be demolished at any BBQ, but they're also great to enjoy on a cold winter night. The long cooking time will heat up the house--just throw them over some veggies and rice for a satisfying meal. This recipe was inspired by 'Baked Beans from Scratch' found here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-beans-from-scratch/, but I reduced the sweet, and added some tang and smoke.
