Recipe Homemade Baked Beans Crock Pot

Crockpot baked beans: Your new favorite dish for summer cookouts! This recipe is the easy way to make baked beans – made right in your slow cooker with canned beans, bacon, brown sugar and ketchup. Full of flavor, 10 minutes of prep time and no heating up the house!

It wasn’t until my early twenties that I tried making my own. And while I still cherish the canned stuff, I absolutely love my homemade baked beans!

I do cheat to make these super easy, so they are semi-homemade – like my Pineapple BBQ Crockpot Baked Beans are, too. I definitely use the cooked beans from a can, because to me, cooking dried beans in the crock freaks me out (too many bad stories about undercooked beans from friends and family). Doesn’t mean they are any less delicious though!

1) Add beans, 2) onion, bacon, brown sugar and 3) ketchup to a crockpot. 4) Stir well, then 5) cook on LOW.

But they’re obviously mainly a popular BBQ side dish. So serve them up with some pulled pork in a bun or with BBQ chicken! And by the way, my Crockpot Mac and Cheese recipe and my coleslaw are other sides that goes so well with typical BBQ or cookout food.

Traditional, old fashioned baked beans recipes typically involve soaking dried beans overnight until they’re tender, then bringing them to a simmer in a large pot with a sweet and savory sauce, and finally, baking them right in the oven. Everyone’s “sauce” is a bit different and many include apple cider vinegar or even apple juice as well.

Recently I googled baked beans and was shocked to find that the first eight or so recipes I looked at all used canned beans. I mean, why? Making them from scratch is SO easy you guys, there is literally no reason not to make them yourself.

This homemade baked beans recipe is the only recipe you’ll ever need. While the beans aren’t “baked” they are slow cooked which is exactly what you do in the oven. The good news is you won’t need to soak the beans or anything, just a quick rinse and they go straight in the crockpot.

What I love about making them from scratch is that I control the ingredients. Sometimes I want the beans to be a little sweeter so I’ll add a tablespoon or two more of the brown sugar. Maybe I’m making them for a BBQ and I want them to have a bit more of a smoky flavor so I add in a half teaspoon or so of liquid smoke.

While I’m a big fan of baked beans anyway I can get them, I love making slow cooker baked beans because it’s a great way to make them all year round.
