In the crockpot, add beans, water, and smoked meat; cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or overnight. In a large pot with olive oil on medium heat, add sausage and sauté until brown about 7 minutes. Then add the Trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper), salt and red pepper flakes to the sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Then add garlic and cook for another 3 minutes. Add beans, water, and smoked meat from the crockpot to the sausage mixture and add tomatoes and seasonings. Cook on medium low heat for 1-1/2 hours until beans are soft and seasonings soaked in.
