Crock Pot Baked Beans with Pineapple – Slow Cooker Hawaiian Baked Beans

Crock Pot Baked Beans with pineapple, bacon, and a trio of canned beans are a new take on a family favorite side dish. The pineapple chunks give each bite a burst of sweetness to these Slow Cooker Hawaiian Baked Beans.

You can not go wrong bringing these baked beans to a family gathering or cookout, and all ages agree that these are tasty.

Crock Pot Baked Beans with Pineapple

These baked beans are Hawaiian-inspired, with sweet chunks of pineapple throughout a mixture of calico beans.  Calico beans are a dish featuring three types of beans, resulting in a calico display.  This particular recipe has red kidney beans, lima beans and butter beans.

We adapted this recipe from our tried and true Pot O’ Gold cookbook and it can be fixed in your regular slow cooker OR your casserole crock pot. These types of recipes are our favorite. They are tried and true, classic and usually easy to make.

Barbara tends to keep these ingredients in the cabinet (except for the bacon, of course) so she can throw this together at any time. Beans are a great staple and full of protein.

The bacon is the savory and the pineapple chunks are the sweet in this dish. It’s a great side dish but hearty enough to be eaten as a main course.

Notes About Pineapple Baked Bean Recipe

• Can’t find canned lima or butter beans? Add another can of kidney beans or any other type of bean you like.  Great Northern Beans or White Kidney Beans would be tasty!
• Pineapple chunks or tidbits work in this crock pot pineapple baked bean recipe.  If you have chunks but want small pieces, cut each chunk in half.
• Be sure to drain the beans and pineapple well, except for the canned baked beans.  The sauce in the baked beans helps flavor and thicken this recipe.
• If you forget to fry up the onion with the bacon (guilty, as charged) then just add the diced onion with the other ingredients in the crock pot.
