Mayan Ranch Barbecue Beans

The Mayan Ranch in Bandera, Texas visitors the opportunity to be cowboys. This hill country dude ranch serves up the best of the West with old fashioned barbecue dinners. They say this recipe isn’t too sweet like baked beans, but just right for eating with brisket.

2 (23-ounce) cans ranch-style beans
1 onion, chopped and sautéed until thender
1 link Opa-brand sausage
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup picante sauce

Combine beans, sausage, mustard, and maple syrup in a glass baking dish or pan. Top with picante sauce. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 1-1/2 hours. (Note: Beans can also be cooked in an iron skillet outside until onions are tender.)

SERVES 10 TO 12
