Slow Simmered Kidney Beans (Slow Cooker)
This sounds really good as I love kidney beans, and I will be preparing them using my pressure cooker. As written, this makes a lot, so feel free to adjust this to half by changing the number of servings. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Notes section.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker (6+ quart)
Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon, diced
- 250 grams Kielbasa sausage, sliced into coins, (8 oz)
- 4 cans kidney beans, drained, (15 oz / 425 g each), or 8 cups cooked, Shortcut
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained, (28 oz / 794 g)
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 cup tomato ketchup
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon Worcerstershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 medium red apples, unpeeled, cored, cubed
Instructions
- Prep the beans first. If using canned, open, rinse, and drain, set aside. Better option is to cook from dry beans, and pressure cooked would be your best option, and they are so much more flavorful! For cooked beans from dry, you need 8 cups drained.
- Heat a non stick pan on medium heat, when hot, add the bacon and fry until crispy and remove with a slotted spoon, then add the sausage to the bacon fat and cook to brown, stirring often, for about 6-7 minutes. Drain the sausage and add to your slow cooker.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker, stir to mix everything. Cover on and set to Low setting for 4 hours.
- Add the the apples and give a quick stir, cover and cook another 2 hours.
- Serve as a side dish.
