Directions: |
Directions:Brown and drain the ground beef and Hillshire smokies separately. Saute the chopped peppers and onions in butter until soft and lightly browned. Drain the 4 cans of beans. In a very large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix with your hands by lightly folding the ingredients. Do not use a spoon and mix only enough to combine. Over-handling makes mixture 'mushy'. Mixture will be relatively thick. Taste test and add extra spices, mustard, worchestershire or chili sauce to adjust flavor. Place bean mixture into a deep, large crock pot type dish. Cover with lid or foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hrs, stirring every 30 minutes. You can divide the mixture into 2 smaller dishes, but reduce the cooking time by 15 minutes. |
