Slow Cooker Kielbasa and BBQ Beans is a recipe I put together to use up some extra browned hamburger I had. One of my favorite ways to be frugal is to not waste leftover food in the fridge. You should find most of the ingredients in your well stocked pantry.
Slow Cooker Kielbasa and BBQ Beans is a protein rich meal with the various meat and beans. We ate it as a one bowl meal, but it can also be used a side dish. Baked BBQ Bean dishes are also perfect for potlucks or parties. My son loved it so much he had 3 servings!
Ground Sausage or Ground Turkey/chicken can be used instead of hamburger. Also use whatever beans your family loves the best. Kidney beans, garbanzo beans, white beans, red beans would also be great. If you want this spicy you can use a spicy sausage, spicy chili beans, spicy bbq sauce and bold baked beans.
