Crockpot Sausage and BBQ Beans

My granddaughter Cristen is going to love this recipe, because she puts BBQ sauce on everything! This crockpot sausage and BBQ beans recipe is another meal you can prepare in the morning and 6-8 hours later you have a yummy meal you can serve with corn muffins and a salad.  

I had all the ingredients but one; molasses, so I'm substituting it for brown sugar. The conversion rate is 1.5 cup brown sugar to 1 cup molasses. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup molasses which is 4 tablespoons. If I'm doing this right I need 6 tablespoons of brown sugar. Let me know if I'm right.

Ingredients: 

2 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed 
2 cans of northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup BBQ sauce 
3/4 cup ketchup 
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder 
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 
1/2 cup maple syrup 
1/4 cup molasses or 6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 14.5 oz can of chicken broth or a tad over 1 3/4 cups, if you have your chicken broth in a 32 oz container 
1 lb bacon, cooked and cut into bite size pieces 
2 lbs of sausage, cut into bite size pieces 

Directions: 

In your crockpot add the beans then the rest of the ingredients except for the sausage and stir. Place the sausage on top and cover. Cook 6-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. Stir in the sausage right before serving. Yum Yum!
