This is just like the beans that my mother made growing up, but she just added all the ingredients and did it by taste. The only change is use DILL PICKLE JUICE instead of the VINEGAR. It makes them even better.

These beans are fantastic! I omit the bell pepper because my boyfriend doesn't care for it, and I sometimes add a little more spice just because we love it like that. My girlfriend's 9-year-old picky eater daughter ate bowl after bowl. I love how easy this is too...just throw everything in your dutch oven, and into the oven it goes!

I have used this recipe many times since I first saw it here. There are never any left-overs and I have been asked for the recipe many times. The only thing I do different is that I use more sausage than is called for.

Recipe was good - next time I will use a little less brown sugar - 1/2 cup made it too sweet for my families taste. I will also use a little less chili powder (but not much less) overall it was good and my daughter love the aroma while it was in the oven

Wonderful!! I halved the chili powder, used mild Johnsonville Sausage, and it still had plenty of flavor. Adults and kids loved this. I cooked in the crock pot on low for about 4.5 hours. Really great for a football party or fall get together...

These were excellent and a HUGE hit! I substituted the spicy pork links with a pound of thick cut peppered bacon and cooked in a slow cooker on low for 4 hours. This was almost a meal in itself! Will definitely make again.

Loved this recipe!! I made it for a football tailgate party where the main dish was fried chicken, so I doubled it. Like another reviewer, instead of the sausage, I added northern beans. I cooked it in the crockpot for 4 hrs., probably could have cooked for only 2-3 hrs. I also drained half of the fluid from the beans so it would be thick. Everyone loved them!! I will make these again and again- they're great for any picnic, potluck, etc!!
