For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the ketchup mixture. If you prefer a thicker consistency, simmer the baked beans on the stovetop for a few minutes after baking to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it's heated through. Feel free to experiment with different types of smoked sausage, such as Andouille or chorizo, for a unique flavor profile. For a vegetarian option, omit the smoked sausage and add a can of drained and rinsed black beans or kidney beans.
