Crock Pot Baked Beans with Bacon

Crock Pot Baked Beans with Bacon is an easy recipe to throw together for your next party.  A combination of canned beans are bathed in a sweet brown sugar and ketchup based sauce that will compliment any entree.

Slow Cooker Baked Beans with Bacon Recipe:

This particular recipe was created from 2 separate recipes.  I liked aspects of a saucy crock pot baked bean and a Texas baked bean casserole, so I picked the ingredients I had on hand and modified it for this new recipe.

Mainly, I like it because the baked beans are saucy and sweet, just the way I prefer. These Slow Cooker Baked Beans are great for parties because you can free up precious oven space for other dishes. I served them along side of Oven Pulled Pork and Corn Casserole.  The whole meal was a hit with my entire extended family.

Notes About Crock Pot Baked Beans with Bacon:

• This is a dump and go recipe; all the ingredients go into the slow cooker insert, stir, cover and cook.
• I use 2 cans of pork and beans, 1 can of great northern, and 1 can of chili beans, but you could swap in some Lima beans or red kidney beans if that’s what you have. It’s pretty versatile.
• Be sure to drain the great northern beans, but keep the pork and beans and chili beans undrained—this keeps them saucy.
• I use mild chili beans. If your family likes things a bit spicier, you can use hot chili beans.
• Use your favorite barbecue sauce. I used a honey barbecue sauce to give the baked beans a bit more sweetness.
• Try using a slow cooker liner to make clean up a cinch.
• To speed things up, cook on high for 4-6 hours.
• If you love beans as much as we do, try our Slow Cooker Calico Beans, Crock Pot Baked Beans with Pineapple and Instant Pot Ham and Beans.
