• Add sausage, crumbling it into small pieces while it cooks.
• Drain some of the liquid from the beans- make it about the same level in the can as the beans themselves. Mix into the sausage/veggies.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add remaining ingredients. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
• Serve immediately, or let cool and reheat. We loved this the next day, as the flavors had a chance to really mix.

• To prepare the ribs, coat evenly with the All-Purpose Red Rub.
• To prepare the grill, remove the grill rack and fire up the grill. Then prepare smoking packets by placing 3 cups of hickory wood chips in a bowl and covering them with water. Soak for at least half an hour. Drain well and divide between 2 squares of aluminum foil. Form into 2 individual packets, and poke holes in one side. Set aside.
• Spread out the coals once they're hot, piling them on one side of the bottom of the grill. Set the wood chip packets on top of the coals. Stick a drip pan filled with 1/2 inch of water on the side opposite the coals. This will catch the drips from the ribs and keep things moist inside the grill. Reposition the grill rack over the coals and the drip pan. Cover the grill and let the fire simmer down a bit.
• Position the ribs and position them on the rack over the drip pan. Cover the grill and test its internal temperature by dropping an instant-read thermoneter down through a vent hole. The grill temperature should be between 225 degrees and 250 degrees. Check on the ribs about ever 45 minutes for the next 3 1/2 to 4 hours. If the rib are looking a bit thirsty, mop lightly with the Mop Sauce. If the temperature of grill dips below 225 degrees, add a few more hot coals to the fire.
• To test the ribs for doneness, gently tear the meat between the bones, poke your finger through the meat, check if the meat's internal temperature is at least 180 degrees. Once you've determined the ribs are done, finish by glazing or caramelizing with the Mutha Sauce.
• To glaze the ribs, brush with Mutha Sauce and let the ribs cook for 20 minutes in the covered grill.
• To caramelize the ribs, crank the heat up to high on the grill and flip the finished rim over onto direct high heat. When they're nice and bronze colored, brush with barbecue sauce and serve.
