These Hawaiian Baked Beans are the perfect blend of sweet and smoky, with tender ham, tangy barbecue sauce, and juicy pineapple in every bite.
Pineapple and barbecue sauce go hand in hand in the slow cooker, also try my Pineapple Barbecue Drumsticks or my Easy Hawaiian Chicken.
I found this old ad for “Baked Beans Hawaiian” and knew it would be a perfect recipe to try in the slow cooker. Before making this recipe I hadn’t bought B&M baked beans before. I was pleasantly surprised what great quality they were, they are flavored great and the beans were very glossy and not smashed up.
How to Make Hawaiian Baked Beans
Make these beans in 2 easy steps:
Step One: Brown the diced ham in butter on the stovetop, then add it to the slow cooker along with baked beans, onion, barbecue sauce, mustard, and pepper; stir to combine.
Step Two: Top with drained pineapple chunks, cover, and cook on LOW for 5 hours.
Variations:
Here are great ways to change up these beans:
Swap the ham: Use cooked and crumbled bacon or diced smoked sausage for a different smoky flavor.
Add heat: Stir in a diced jalapeño, a splash of hot sauce, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Change the beans: Try using pork and beans or another brand of baked beans.
Different BBQ Sauce: Use chipotle, honey BBQ, or spicy varieties to change up the flavor profile.
Bell Peppers: Add chopped red or green bell pepper for extra color and a fresh crunch.
