Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds bulk spicy pork sausage
1 medium green bell pepper chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 (31-ounce) can pork and beans
1 (16-ounce) can kidney beans rinsed and drained
1 (15.5-ounce) can great northern beans rinsed and drained
1 (15.5-ounce) can black-eyed peas rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons ground mustard

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pork sausage and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink. Drain the excess grease.
Add the green bell peppers and the onions to the cooked sausage and sauté until they are tender. Drain the excess liquid.
Add the pork and beans, the kidney beans, the great northern beans, the black-eyed peas, the pinto beans, the chickpeas, the ketchup, the brown sugar, and the ground mustard to the sausage mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake the bean mixture, about 1 hour.
Discard the foil and bake the bean mixture until it is bubbly, about 20-30 minutes.
Serve.
