Slow Cooked Bean Casserole

You know what I love about this casserole?  It's super thick, it's incredibly delicious and it can be made in the slow cooker!  I'm pretty sure the original recipe was made in the oven and not the slow cooker but you know how much I LOVE my crock pot! 

It's not the healthiest with the sausage and bacon but really, it tastes SOOOOOO good! 

A little goes a long way too, as it is packed with protein, about a cup will fill you up completely!  My kind of food!
