Instructions

  1. In a large slow cooker, add all of the ingredients except for the kielbasa and stir gently to combine.

  3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. Stir in the kielbasa before serving.
Notes
I recommend the low setting for this recipe because on high, the beans tend to get dried out. If you need to cook on high due to time constraints, monitor the beans and add more broth or water if necessary.
