Serves: 6  Prep time: 20 minutes  Cook time: 30 minutes

6 slices bacon, diced

1 large onion chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 cups brown sugar

1 cup dark beer (I like to use Guinness)

1 cup water

1 cup BBQ sauce

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup mild molasses

½ t dry mustard

1 t paprika

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

S&P

4 (28-ounce) cans pork and beans, drained and rinsed

2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1 link kielbasa.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until browned and crispy. Add onions and garlic and sauté until soft with S&P. Allow to cook for a few minutes. Add the  beans, water, beer, bbq sauce, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard and paprika, and S&P, to taste.

Place the kielbasa onto a baking sheet to cook alongside beans.

Cook both for 30 minutes at 350.  Remove from oven.  Slice kielbasa and serve onto of beans.
