This recipe has been a favorite for 30 years. Great at picnics as a side dish, where the guys gave it it's nickname (Blame the Dog). Serve this alone as a main dish with coleslaw and crusty rolls, or as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fully cooked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced

  • 1 (28 ounce) can baked beans

  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • ½ cup ketchup

  • ½ cup red wine

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ¼ cup chopped celery

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine sausages, baked beans, kidney beans, tomato sauce, ketchup, red wine, onion, celery, garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a 3-quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.

Cook's Note

This recipe may also be cooked on High for 4 hours in a slow cooker. You may need to spoon off some of the excess liquid from time to time.

This is great for potluck suppers, and can really stretch a meal. Sometimes I even cut up a few hot dogs and add them in.
