Instructions: Drain fluid from the canned ingredients. Pour the chili and beans into the crock pot. Add the diced onion. Set the crock pot on low heat and start cooking.

In separate mixing bowl, blend together the barbecue sauce, catsup, liquid smoke, brown sugar, and garlic. Pour the mixture into the beans and stir to blend. Keep cooking.

Cut hot dogs in chunks about 1/2-inch long. Put the wiener chunks in a sauce pan and cover with the beer. Heat over a moderate temperature until boiling.

Drain beer from the hot dogs and stir them into the beans. Let the beans cook on low until the onions are soft. Usually an hour or two.
