Crockpot Bean Dish

• 2 cups dry pinto beans
• 1 cup dry navy beans
• 1 T salt
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2t dry mustard
• ½ t smoke flavoring
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup honey
• 1 cup bbq sauce

The night before serving this meal cover beans with water and let soak. The next morning drain beans, cover with more water and salt and cook until beans are tender. When beans have finished cooking, drain, reserving the bean broth. Put beans in crockpot and add remaining ingredients. Add some of the reserved bean broth until desired consistency. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.

I cook the pintos and navy beans separately because they have separate cooking times. Sometimes I add 1/2 pound of hamburger to make it a heartier dish. Great on a cool night w/ hot fresh rolls and a salad.
