For a vegetarian option, omit the pork sausage and use a vegetarian sausage substitute or add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. For a less sweet dish, start with 1/2 cup and add more to taste. If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large baking dish covered with foil will work as well. Consider adding a diced bell pepper for extra flavor and texture. The beans can be made a day ahead and reheated before serving. The flavors meld even better overnight!
