Why You’ll Love This Baked Beans Recipe
There are many ways to cook baked beans but knowing how to flavor them just perfectly takes a little bit of practice. With this “land your man recipe,” you’ll bring together the flavors of brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard for the start of a homemade barbecue flavor. Then, you’ll add a slight twist with taco seasoning and hot sauce for a winning flavor combination.
Using your crock pot takes the guesswork out of how long to cook the beans and gives all of the ingredients time to marry together for the tastiest beans ever. My husband (and family) loves these beans and I know yours will too!
Recipe Ingredients
- Baked Beans – Two large cans of Original Baked Beans. You can use any brand you prefer.
- Ground Beef – One pound of cooked ground beef for this recipe. Not a usual ingredient for baked beans, though it makes it filling and hearty.
- Bacon – Cooked bacon will give the baked beans a smokey flavor, be sure to cook it first for uncooked bacon doesn’t add anything but grease to a slow cooker recipe.
- Brown Sugar – Just a touch of brown sugar sweetens the recipe.
- Onion – Sweet yellow onion is best for baked beans.
- Hot sauce – This is optional; I use one tablespoon of our favorite hot sauce, Tapatio, which made these beans have quite the kick, which my husband and I don’t mind. Leave out the hot sauce, and make sure to buy mild taco seasoning if you don’t like spicy foods.
- Other Ingredients – Ketchup and mustard will help make and flavor the sauce.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step One – Add everything to the slow cooker.
Step Two – Stir everything together until well combined.
Step Three – Cover and cook on LOW for 7 ( up to 8) hours, try not to open the lid during the cooking time. Serve and enjoy!
How to serve
- Side dish – Serve as a side dish along with your pulled pork or ribs. You’ll surely have everyone asking for the recipe.
- Main meal – These land your man baked beans are hearty enough to be served as a main meal (like you would pinto beans or a bowl of chili). Serve with a hunk of cornbread, tortilla chips, or warmed flour tortillas on the side.
- 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.
Recipe FAQs

I found this recipe for land your man baked beans on my favorite recipe site called Just a Pinch. Jenny won a blue ribbon prize for this recipe; it’s a keeper! I hope you enjoy this slow cooker version.
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!
