Baked beans with smoky ham and sweet pineapple chunks in the slow cooker are a wonderful side dish!

Pineapple and barbecue sauce go hand in hand in the slow cooker, also try my Pineapple Barbecue Drumsticks or my 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.

I chose to brown the ham in a skillet in butter before adding to the slow cooker. It gives it a touch more flavor. If I was in a hurry or camping and didn’t want to dirty an extra dish I would throw the ham in without browning, and it would do fine.

These beans turned out great. I did not add brown sugar like I usually do to baked beans. The pineapple cooks out some juices and sweetens the pot.

Can I use bacon instead of ham?

Yes! If you choose to use bacon be sure to cook and crumble before adding to the slow cooker. Uncooked bacon in the slow cooker is tasteless and greasy.

      I’ve always used smoke sausage cut into pieces and an equal amount of brown sugar ro the ketchup or BBQ sauce that you use. Comes out fantastic. A recipe handed down from a company picnic long ago. Oven or slow cooker the way to go. Stove top tends to burn beans on the bottom.

      Easy to make. Set it and forget it. My 12 year old said the pineapple made it too sweet, which is surprising coming from him. It was different than what I normally do, but I liked it.

      Made this while camping in our small Travel trailer (14 ft.) when company was coming. Added a tossed salad and home-made skillet corn bread.(Baked the cornbread in cast iron skillet in my electric skillet on a rack, with the lid on….no oven in the T.T.) It was a big hit, everyone loved it…..and so easy!!!

      Thanks for all your great recipes…I’m 74 and still learning “New Tricks”

      My grandmother had the newspaper recipe in her recipe box with a note to change from chunks to crushed and instead of ham she used bacon. This was one of our favorites at her table.

      I am going to try this. But I am going to substitute the ham with Spam chunks precooked in skillet and browned. I think it will work…
