BEANS & SAUSAGE - CROCK POT



Beans & Sausage - Crock Pot image

I found this in a crock pot cookbook, and although it was similar to some recipes already on here, I wanted to post it so I would remember to try it. The recipe says you can substitute any type of canned beans, just use two types. Suggestions for white are great northern, butter beans, or cannellini. For red, you could try small red or kidney beans. Fresh or fully cooked sausage can be used.
