How to Make Bbq Beans And Sausage Crock Pot

  1. Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can of baked beans, 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  3. Pour the bean mixture into the slow cooker.
  4. Arrange 1 pound of your favorite BBQ sausage (Italian sausage, kielbasa, or andouille work well) on top of the bean mixture.

  6. Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of your favorite BBQ rub.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
