MCCALL'S MAGAZINE CROCK POT BAKED BEANS
Source: Dittybop 1/2000

I adapted this recipe from "McCall's" magazine several years ago. I make it several times a year and it is always a hit. I use canned beans, but you can adapt.

3 cans Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 pound sausage (see note below)
1 can condensed cream of tomato soup, undiluted
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
2 Tbsp cider vinegar

Combine all the ingredients in your slow cooker. Cover and cook 6-8 hours on low.
Note about the sausage:
The original recipe called for Cocktail Weiners and these are great if you are bringing this to a party or have kids. Cooked sausage tends to get tough, so I usually buy a fresh sausage, often brats, etc. Left whole, they can even be put on buns when it is time to eat.

I have done lots of substitutions on the recipe - nothing seems to be critical. Last time, I threw in a left-over ham bone and it was better than ever. You can put in twice as much sausage with good results.
