Hearty Beans & Rice

I created this off a recipe I saw in a slow cooker magazine.  It's like a cross between BBQ beans and Red beans & rice.  In fact, next time I make it I'm going to replace the steak seasoning with creole seasoning.  I also recommend reducing the spicy brown mustard from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup as the flavor was kinda obvious, but it was still tasty!

WARNING: You will need a large crock pot in order to do this!

Step 1:
Brown 2 lbs of ground beef (or any ground meat of your choosing) in a pan.  (Prior to browning the meat I recommend heating up some minced garlic and sweating a whole medium to large diced onion)

Step 2: Dump the following into a crockpot and stir:

   2 large cans of baked beans (I like Bush's original)
   2 cans kidney beans, drained
   2 cans pinto beans, drained
   1 pound smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, sliced (or more, whatever will fit in your pot)
   1 cup BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
   1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
   1/4 cup steak seasoning (I used McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning)

Step 3: Cook on Low all day and serve over rice.
