Slow Cooker Three-Bean Beer Pot

This recipe is from the Pillsbury website here, but I had to adapt it so that Brian, the vegetarian, could eat it. It was FABULOUS! We really enjoyed it and everyone raved about it. I would definitely make this again! Keep in mind this will need to cook at least 4 hours, so plan accordingly.
