Ingredients

• 6 pieces sausages (pork or beef)
• 800 grams canned baked beans
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 2

Cook the sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce, cooking for 1 minute to release the flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the canned baked beans, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Slice the cooked sausages into thick pieces (or leave them whole if preferred) and add them to the pan with the beans.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
