Slow-Cooked Baked Beans

David Venable

A classic recipe for BBQ baked beans is a must-have for the summer, and my Slow-Cooked Baked Beans are full of sweet, tangy flavor.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 lb dried pinto beans
  • 5 cups water
  • 3/4 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Directions

Cook the bacon over medium heat in a medium-size skillet. When the bacon begins to brown, add the onions and sauté until translucent.
Place the beans into the slow cooker with the water, bacon, and onion. Cover and set the slow cooker on high for 3 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Combine the molasses, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
After 3 hours add the sauce and stir to combine. Cover and let the beans cook an additional hour.

Cook's Notes

If you're cooking for vegetarians, you can choose to leave the bacon out.
