Halve the Cabanossi and cut into thin slices. Brown them in a large pot with the bacon, roughly diced onions, and ground beef. The bacon and Cabanossi should be nice and crispy. Deglaze with the canned tomatoes, fill about half the can with water, and add the mustard, brown sugar, salt and pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil briefly, then reduce the heat considerably. Simmer gently for about 1 hour. Season again with the spices and thicken the sauce with a little tomato paste, if desired. Add the drained beans and bring everything back to a boil briefly. Serve with fresh baguette or ciabatta.
