Calories: 315kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb. bulk hot Italian sausage
- 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
- 1 28-oz. can baked beans
- 1 14-oz. can light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 14-oz. can butter beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 14-oz. can cut green beans, drained
- 1 8-oz. can tomato paste
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. dry mustard
Instructions
- Brown your Italian sausage and onions, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. If your slow slow cooker has a sauté function you can do it right in there, if not just do it in a large skillet. After the meat is cooked through and no longer pink and the onions are a bit softened, you'll drain the fat and add to your slow cooker.
- Stir in all the remaining ingredients to the sausage and onion mixture in the slow cooker. You'll cook the beans for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. If you're cooking on high the the beans start to bubble you can decrease the temperature to low for the remainder of the time.
Notes
As I mentioned above, if you can't find the butter beans you can substitute cannellini beans or great northern white beans.
You can cook the beans on high or low. If you are cooking on high, when the beans start to bubble you can decrease the heat to low.
