Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans

Beans are a perfect side dish.  They go good with anything you cook.  This recipe is exceptionally delicious and very easy to make.  You use canned beans cooked in a sauce with ketchup, ground beef, bacon, brown sugar and some liquid smoke.   These beans can also be a meal by themselves. Serve them with some cornbread or biscuits.  What could be easier.
