Mexican Venison Sausage and Bean Stew for the Slow Cooker

I've spent the month experimenting with my new kitchen toy. I've always hummed and hawed about whether or not to purchase a slow cooker but the need for comforting stews during the  cold weather and also the possibility of us redoing our kitchen this year provided a strong case in favour of me getting one. Venison is a meat that I enjoy eating in the winter and I decided to experiment with some venison sausages that I bought locally. An absolute winner and utterly delicious!
