    Slow Cooked Baked Beans

    These Slow Cooked Baked Beans are about as close as I can remember to a recipe I had decades ago. These baked beans are hearty packed with 3 different kinds of beans, beef, bacon with some sweetness from the brown sugar and molasses.

    Slow Cooked Baked Beans

    I cooked these beans on high for 4 hours, but you can also cook them on low for about 8 hours. If you like your baked beans especially thick, you can add a couple of spoonfuls of cornstarch until you reach the desired consistency.

    If you've ever wondered what part of the pig Bacon comes from check out the picture below. Surprised?

    Out of all the recipes I have made over the years, I am often asked to make these baked beans by family & friends. I have no problem with that as this is one of my favorite baked beans recipe.

    💭 Slow Cooker Tip

    Try to resist as much as possible the temptation to open the lid while it's cooking as the slow cooker loses heat. By just opening the lid to stir the contents can make the internal temperature drop by 10°F to 15°F.

    If you like baked beans and really want to try something different, make sure you try my Mango Baked Beans, my Slow Cooker Boston Baked Beans or my Slow Cooked Baked Beans.

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.

    🐄 How to Handle Raw Beef

    Thaw raw ground beef on a plate on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator, to avoid dripping onto other foods.
    Keep raw and ready-to-eat meats separate.
    Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw ground beef. Wash cutting boards, bowls, and utensils used to prepare raw ground beef with hot soapy water and rinse well.
    Use separate plates to carry raw ground beef patties to the cooking area and cooked patties to the serving area.
    Use a Thermometer to ensure Ground Beef Reaches the Safely Cooked Internal Temperature of 160°F.

      These baked beans are to die for. My family just loved them. They were easy to make as they were in my slow cooker. Will make this recipe again.
