Slow Cooker Sausage and Bean Medley

Place chopped onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Add sliced sausage and rinsed kidney beans on top.

In a separate bowl, whisk together broth, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and spices until smooth.

Pour the mixture over the sausage and beans.

Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours.

How to Make

For extra flavor, sear the sausage slices in a hot skillet for about 2 minutes per side before adding them to the slow cooker.

Ensure the liquid partially covers the ingredients to prevent drying out during cooking.

In the last 30 minutes, remove the lid to allow the sauce to thicken into a rich, glossy glaze.
