I created this recipe to be a spicy side dish that can go with your next BBQ. Admittedly it needed a little tweaking as the flavor was spot on, it was a bit dry. Adding some extra ketchup and leaving the beans with the sauce made the consistency I wanted to see. This recipe is slightly sweet with a punch of vinegary flavor that you just can’t find in store bought beans.

Notes
- I used dark brown sugar but you can use light brown sugar if that is the only thing you have.
- If you like the flavor feel free to use molasses starting a 1 Tablespoon.
- This recipe was made in a Dutch oven but you can use whatever oven safe and stovetop safe vessel you choose just make sure it is large enough to hold all the ingredients
- To be respectful of cost and calories, I used lean ground turkey (93% lean) but If ground beef is more your thing feel free to use that instead. Just make sure to drain the fat before adding the other ingredients.
