    In a large pot, brown the sausage and bacon. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. (I do not drain the drippings.)

  • 3
    Add pineapple, brown sugar, A-1 and honey or maple syrup. Stir.

    Empty mixture into a crock pot and cook on low for several hours; or into a baking dish and bake @ 350 degrees until thick and bubbly.
