No-Bake Baked Beans with Strawberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce

A smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet bean dish with a kick—no oven required.

Ingredients

• 2 sausage links, sliced
  

• 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
  

• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  

• 1 tbsp minced garlic
  

• 2–4 slices of bacon, diced
  

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  

• 1/3 cup tomato sauce
  

• 1/3 cup Louisiana Pepper Exchange Strawberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
  
  

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bacon and onion until the bacon is mostly cooked and onions are soft.
   Tip: If using lean bacon, add a small amount of oil to help it cook evenly.
   

2. Add the minced garlic and sliced sausage to the skillet. Cook for 1–2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
   

3. Deglaze the pan with a splash of apple cider vinegar.
   

4. Stir in the tomato sauce and Strawberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce, combining well.
   

5. Add the white beans and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
   

6. Simmer on low for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens.
