Ingredients

• 1 pound Smoked sausage
• 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces Canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes with juice
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sear the sausage rounds on both sides until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In the crock pot, add the kidney beans, cannellini beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), and diced onion.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, barbecue sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and chili powder to the crock pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the browned sausage slices to the crock pot and stir gently to incorporate.

Step 6

Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Step 7

Stir the mixture occasionally if available to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve warm with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
