Beer Baked Beans

1 pound dry navy beans
1/2 pound lean chorizo sausage
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, -- or to taste
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
4 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 large onion, -- sliced
1 12 oz can beer -- of your choice

Sort, wash and drain beans, then cover with water and soak overnight. Drain beans and put in slow cooker.

Remove and discard outer casing from chorizo; chop chorizo. Add to slow cooker along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well.

If needed, add more beer to cover beans. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Check occasionally to make sure liquid is adequate and add more if necessary. You can use water, but the flavor will be changed slightly.
