These have quickly become our family’s favorite baked beans. They’re packed with protein and have a bold, one-of-a-kind flavor you won’t find in any other bean recipe. Whether you’re trying to impress someone or just want a seriously good side dish—I’ve got you covered.
What you’ll Need:
- Baked Beans – Two cans of original-style baked beans; any brand works.
- Ground Beef – Adds heartiness and makes this dish more filling.
- Bacon – Use cooked bacon for a smoky flavor; uncooked will just add grease.
- Brown Sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness.
- Onion – Sweet yellow onion works best here.
- Hot Sauce – Optional; I use Tapatio for a spicy kick. Skip it and use mild taco seasoning if you prefer less heat.
- Ketchup & Mustard – Help create a tangy, flavorful sauce.
- A Large Slow Cooker

These beans are mild in heat. If you want heat kick, use a poblano pepper instead of bell pepper.
Yes, you can use pork and beans instead of baked beans—just use the same amount and double the brown sugar.

Topping – Yes, these beans would taste amazing over a baked potato, a pile of mashed potatoes, or even over a bed of nachos with cheese.

Great recipe
I need to make a large batch so I need to cook in the oven. Can you tell me how long and at what temp. Thank you.
I have not tested in the oven, I apologize. This recipe is larger and cooks in the oven covered at 325 degrees for 2 hours. https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a9890/the-best-baked-beans-ever/
This was excellent.
Can you freeze leftovers
Yes, baked beans freeze well!
Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes!
You show celery in your ingredients but so not mention it in the instructions or the printed recipe. What gives?
That’s bell pepper. I fixed it. I apologize.
Love..IT
I love this recipe. I have a problem, I need it for a picnic and don’t have 7 hours. Do you think it can be converted to an Instant Pot?
I believe it’s too thick for an instant pot. I do think you could cook this on high for 3-4 hours.
Amazing
My husband and I love this recipe!!!!
Thanks!
