Crockpot Baked Beans

Serves: 10
WW Points per Serving: 3

1/2 medium onion -- chopped
5 slices turkey bacon -- chopped
4 ounces ground beef (80% lean)
1 can vegetarian beans in tomato sauce - (16 oz)
1 can vegetarian baked beans - (16 oz)
1 can red kidney beans - (16 oz) -- rinsed, drained
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke - (to 2 tsp)
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring

Lightly spray an unheated medium skillet with no-stick spray. Add the
onions and bacon. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the
onions are tender. Add the ground beef and cook until browned,
stirring occasionally.
Transfer the onion mixture to a 4- to 6-quart crockpot. Stir in the
beans in tomato sauce, baked beans, kidney beans, tomato sauce, brown sugar, liquid smoke and maple flavoring.
Cover and cook on the medium-high heat setting for 4 to 6 hours (if
necessary, adjust the heat setting so the beans slowly simmer during
cooking). Stir before serving.
