This is a very easy baked beans recipe. I like to make it using my slow cooker crockpot but you can certainly place it into the oven in a baking dish at 350 degrees F. for 2-3 hours. You want it to slow cook to allow all of the flavors to infuse. Like your baked beans with a little bit of a kick? Feel free to add in a few drops of hot sauce and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Like them a little sweeter? Add in addition brown sugar. You can change up the ingredients to suit your own taste buds.

Easy Slow Cooker Baked Beans Recipe
2 large cans baked beans with pork
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. yellow or dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. pink Himalayan salt
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
3 slices bacon, chopped
Place the baked beans, molasses, finely chopped onions, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, salt and ground black pepper into your slow cooker crockpot, stirring after each ingredient has been added. You want to make sure everything is combined together. Chop the bacon into pieces and place the bacon pieces on top. Cover the slow cooker.
Turn the heat onto the low setting and slow cook for 3-5 hours. You want to give it a good stirring every 1 1/2 to 2 hours just to make sure everything is getting cooked evenly. Once it’s done…turn the setting to warm until you’re ready to serve it.
