"Easy and SOOOOO good, even better the second day! This makes a huge amount which makes it the perfect meal for a larger family. I use kielbasa sausage for this but any dry smoked sausage will do fine. Serve this with crusty buns on the side, this make a delicious hearty meal for cooler days."

This was really good. Being that I am in the 'crockpot mode' right now, that is how I prepared it. I have a large crockpot and there was no way it would all fit, so I decreased each of the beans by one can. Thanks for a great recipe.

Thank you hon for another wonderful recipe! I made this in the crockpot and DD and I had to "taste" often while it was cooking. Browned the ground chuck before adding to the crock pot and sliced the smoked sausage. Omitted the jalapeno, added the green chilies, and omitted the sugar. So good with the cheese topping too! I have a 6 quart crock pot and it was full so this would be perfect for a large family or get together.
