1 lb. Polska kielbasa (or Polish sausage)
1 (12 oz.) can of your favorite beer (optional)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (28 oz.) can Bush's baked beans (any flavor)
1 (15 oz.) can chili beans in sauce, unrinsed
3 (15 oz. ea) cans, any combination you like of: black beans, great northern beans, red beans, pinto beans, pink beans, cannelloni beans, butter beans or kidney beans (you get the idea), rinsed in cold water (the first 3 are my favorite)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup (Hunts)
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco sauce, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
4 strips raw bacon, diced

Soak Kielbasa or sausage in beer overnight, discard beer, cut into 1-inch pieces (You CAN skip this step if you want, I just know it's a big hit with the beer crowd).

In a large sauté pan, over medium high heat, sauté oil and onion and cook 'til translucent, Add garlic and sausage. Sauté until all is lightly browned, set aside.

In a large lightly greased baking dish, Gently combine beans, and remaining ingredients except bacon. Gently stir in sausage mixture. Sprinkle top evenly with the raw bacon.

Cover and bake in 350°F oven for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake 15 minutes more. Place under broiler for additional 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it so as not to burn!

Note: Sprinkle top with a little brown sugar for sweeter beans. Use less sugar if you like your beans less sweet. Sliced franks can be substituted for sausage.
