Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) baked beans

- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed right before serving.
Notes
Make this the night before so the sauce thickens more and the flavors blend further. Keep it on the warm setting in the slow cooker during the buffet to maintain texture without drying out. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
