Slow Cooker French Pork and Bean Casserole


                                

Today has been our first really good cold snap here at the base of the Smoky Mountains, and it has put me in the mood for warm hearty meals that have fabulous leftovers!  I found this recipe several years ago and it became and instant classic at my house.  It sounds and tastes a lot more complicated that it actually is, which is part of the magic of crock pot cooking.  


2 slices bacon, chopped
1 lb boneless country style pork ribs, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 c. shredded carrots
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
2 15- 16 oz cans great northern beans, drained
1/2 lb cooked kielbasa, cut into 1/2 inch pieces


Spray 3.5-4 qt slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add in all ingredients. Cook on low setting 7-8 hours. This dish is wonderful served over home made chunky mashed potatoes, but could also be served over rice or perhaps stuffing.

I truly hope you and yours love this dish as much as we do!
