Directions :
1. Add beans (with seasoning packet) and water to a large crock pot then
cook for 4-6 hours on high or until beans are tender.
2. Meanwhile, cook onions with ground beef until beef is cooked through,
seasoning with salt and pepper then set aside.
3. Cut bacon into small strips then cook until crispy and browned. Remove
bacon from pan drippings then set aside.
4. Cut smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces then set aside.
5. Once beans are tender, ladle out any excess liquid; set aside to use later
if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste, barbeque sauce and remaining
ingredients, including the ground beef, bacon and smoked sausage.
Gently stir to combine.
6. Add reserved liquid from cooking the beans, 1/2 cup at a time, if needed
to ensure the contents of the crock pot have a nice, thick sauce. You
don’t want things to be runny but you do want to make sure there’s
enough sauce to coat everything nicely (such as with baked beans).
7. Continue cooking 1-2 hours on high or until sausage is heated through
and everything is hot and bubbly.
Enjoy !!
