Here is how you make Baked Beans with Bourbon chipotle BBQ Sauce and smoked Andouille Sausage:

In crock pot or slow cooker, place can of partially drained beans and un-drained can. Set to low. Add mustard, catsup, and 1 tsp rub recipe, molasses, several grinds of fresh black pepper and stir gently.In medium hot skillet, brown sausages on both sides. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.Reduce heat and add the oil, onions, and red pepper. Gently season with dash of salt and several grinds of fresh black pepper from a pepper mill and add second tsp of rub recipe. Sweat vegetables until soft, about 5 minutes. While vegetables sweat, cut sausages into bite size pieces to your preference. They can be split in half lengthwise, then cut into half-moon disks, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Alternatively they can be left whole and cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch rounds, or cut longer on the diagonal. Add to vegetable to heat through, stir often 1-2 mins. Add the minced garlic and cook one minute more. Add the contents to the beans and stir gently. Try not to break up the beans too much.OFF THE HEAT (this is very important), add the bourbon and the BBQ sauce to the skillet. Then place back on the hot burner. Stir to incorporate and until the sauce bubbles slightly. The "raw" alcohol flavor will burn off leaving the wonderful bourbon flavor. About 5 minutes. Stir often. Once the bourbon flavored sauce begins to bubble, turn off heat. You may not need all of the sauce for your beans. Add a little at a time and stir gently. The beans should be barely covered. See tip after next paragraph. The bourbon sauce will thicken while cooking in the skillet, because the BBQ sauce is very thick to start with, and the bourbon doesn't thin it out very much. This is the reason to reserve the can juices from one of the cans.Tip: Add a little bourbon bbq sauce to the beans and stir gently. If the beans are not almost covered, add a bit of the canned juice, just a little of each, until the product in just barely covered with sauce. Alternatively, add all of the bourbon BBQ sauce, and thin as appropriate to your desire with the canned juice. My caution is, the Cajun sausage is spicy, and so is the BBQ sauce. Adding too much so the finished product may be too spicy. Also adding too much BBQ sauce or reserved canned juice can also make the end product too "soupy". Add a little at a time, experiment and see what you like best. The "heat" factor increases with cooking time. Tip: Good crusty toasted french bread never hurt to sop up the extra sauce.Cook on low for 4 hours, or high for 2. The red bell will still have a little bite. Check for seasoning before serving. Adjust salt and pepper to your desire. Tip: We smoke meat, so we make our own rub recipe. Typically it contains brown sugar, herbs and spices. Things like smoked paprika and onion powder, white pepper...etc. You can buy them too in the grocery store. Look for one with brown sugar as an ingredient. You can also log on to the internet and find very good recipe's to make for yourself. Experiment if you have the time and inclination. Otherwise, just look for a commercial product with brown sugar, or add a tab to it yourself. Yield: 12- 1/2 cup servings, more or less; 6, more or less 1 cup servings.
