Don't forget the beans for your cookout this weekend! These Slow Cooker BBQ Beans are an easy side to make ahead and reheat. Dear Crissy

Full recipe: www.hurstbeans.com/recipes
Ingredients
1 package Hurst’s HamBeens 15 Bean Soup
8 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
1 large onion, diced
1 large green onion, diced small
1 large green pepper, diced
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 cup BBQ sauce (I like a sweet-style, brown sugar sauce)

Cooking Directions
Start by sorting the beans and rinsing them thoroughly.

Next, pour the beans into a slow cooker. Add your chicken broth, diced onion, and diced green pepper. Give everything a good stir! Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours, or until beans are tender. It’s very important to make sure your beans are tender at this point.

After that, add the sliced smoked sausage, your flavor packet, the diced tomatoes, and the BBQ sauce. Stir and simmer an additional 30 minutes, or until sausage is heated through.

To add a little freshness, color and additional flavor, garnish your bowls with some sliced green onions. It’s a nice touch if you’re serving this dish to guests.

Cajun 15 BEAN SOUP is easy in the slow cooker and a delicious way to use the leftover ham bone from Easter! www.hurstbeans.com/recipes

Ingredients
1 package HamBeens® Cajun 15 Bean Soup
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 cup diced celery
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 cups chicken stock
4 cups water
Hurst’s Cajun seasoning packet
1 leftover ham bone with meat
1 can stewed or diced tomatoes

Cooking Directions
Rinse the beans well and sort through them, discarding any debris.

Add the rinsed beans, diced bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, chicken stock, water, seasoning packet, and the ham bone to a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker.

Stir gently, nestling the ham bone down into the liquid. Do not add the tomatoes yet.

Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours, until the beans are tender and the ham has flavored the broth.

Carefully remove the ham bone from the slow cooker. Let it cool slightly, then pull off any remaining meat, shred it, and discard the bone.

Return the shredded ham to the slow cooker along with the tomatoes.

Cook for 30 to 45 minutes more, until everything is heated through and the flavors have come together.

Keep warm until ready to serve. Serve with long grain rice or fresh cornbread.
