Preheat oven to 350F.
In a oven-safe dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp.
Transfer cooked bacon to a paper-towel lined plate to absorb any extra grease.
Saute onions in the bacon grease remaining in the dutch oven until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced smoked sausage and continue to cook another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add pork and beans, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, salt & pepper and hot sauce to the pan and stir to combine.
Continue cooking until mixture is simmering, then place the dutch oven into the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes.
ENJOY!
