A DELICIOUS AND EASY BAKED BEAN RECIPE

We are huge baked bean lovers in my family. Whenever we grill out in the summer, we almost always have beans as a side. Now, I have a pretty fantastic (if I do say so myself) recipe for Southern Baked Beans. It is my favorite bean recipe to use. But I got quite a few emails from folks who like that recipe but wanted something that was a bit easier to make and maybe didn’t involve so many ingredients.

If you have the time, and don’t mind turning on your oven, I really suggest that recipe. The flavor is amazing and the sauce cooks down slowly in the oven, really giving those beans outstanding taste. But I also understand keeping things easy and having a recipe that doesn’t involve turning on the oven in the summer. So, this recipe was created. Just a few ingredients, and it is made in the crock pot! That makes these beans perfect to take along to a BBQ but also doesn’t heat up your house.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

pork and beans
diced onion
barbecue sauce
brown sugar (light or dark)
yellow mustard
cooked bacon

pork and beans, barbecue sauce, light brown sugar, yellow onion, yellow mustard.

Note: The barbecue sauce is really adding the most flavor to these beans. So use one that you know you love. If you want a smokier tasting bean, then try using a hickory barbecue sauce. Also, for more molasses flavor (which I enjoy) try using a dark brown sugar. For this picture, I only had the light brown on hand.

HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT BAKED BEANS:

Hi! Can you tell me how many servings this is!!?

Delish baked beans! My new go to recipe. Thanks!

Sounds delicious! I always have baked beans when we grill too! I'll be giving this one a try !

Yum! Yum! Yum! These sound wonderful. You know, having a hubby whose name is BEAN, I have to keep finding special recipes for them,=) and this one sounds like a real winner. Adding it to my 'to try' list…great summer dish!

this is almost the same way I make mine! I saute the onion in a small amount of the bacon fat and I use the brand of beans that comes in the jar, they are a little less soupy and a little firmer. They are always a big hit at our church picnic or family bar-b-ques. We also bring a carved watermelon basket full of melon balls and asst. berries. Both dishes just fly off the serving table.

Yum! I love baked beans,..it is my favorite side dish! =)

I looooove baked beans, but I even love them more as this is a slow cooker recipe. Definitely trying!

Hi Brandie! The recipe looks yummy and sounds delicious! How can it not be, using Sweet Baby Ray's? Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

I love baked bean too. It is a good option if want to have an easy meal. Just some minced beef or pork and onions cook with baked bean, stir in one or two eggs. Serve with pasta or rice, it is so nice. Sometimes, I serve baked bean with fried eggs or omelet too, it also taste really good. 🙂
