How to Make Baked Beans in a Slow Cooker Crock-Pot

This really is the easiest way to make some delicious baked beans.  Just dump, stir, set the timer and walk away.  The next thing you know you have a big amazing pot of baked beans! I would probably recommend stirring the pot halfway through just to make sure it’s all getting an even cook.  Some slow cookers have hot spots in them, so this helps to prevent any overcooked spots in the pot.  Aren’t slow cookers a lifesaver?  I have some amazing slow cooker recipes!

Baked Beans in the Oven vs. Slow Cooker

You might be asking “Is it better to make baked beans in a slow cooker or in the oven?  Well, both are amazingly very easy but I love the slow cooker because it is so hassle-free and I can work on other things for the BBQ while my beans are cooking!  There’s always so much to do when hosting any party, so spend your time prepping for guests instead of getting the beans ready! If you do want a recipe for making baked beans in the oven check out my Easy Ultimate Baked Beans recipe.  It’s one of my husband’s recipes and I am truly OBSESSED with it!  A fun trick to this slow cooker recipe is how I cook the bacon and onions.  I like to put my bacon and onions in the bottom of the slow cooker first so the two flavors can mix more and then give the whole dish more flavor (this is not displayed in the ingredients picture).  Usually, when you make baked beans you would cook up the bacon separately first, but to get around that I put the bacon at the bottom of the pan!  The direct heat is what it needs to render all the delicious flavor! You’re going to love these Slow Cooker BBQ Baked Beans!

Yum. You’ll be the hit of the party with this baked bean recipe!
