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

ingredients for slow cooker land your man baked beans on a table.
  • 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.

Recipe FAQs

Do canned beans get mushy in the slow cooker?

Canned beans hold up very well in the slow cooker, believe it or not! The sauce is a perfect consistency; the flavor is excellent and only gets better with the other ingredients. It’s no different than baking them.

Can I use pork and beans instead of baked beans?

Yes! Use the same amount of beans but double the brown sugar.

How to store

If you have any leftovers, be sure to put them in the fridge straight away. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for three months.

    You show celery in your ingredients but so not mention it in the instructions or the printed recipe. What gives?

  4. Carolyn Nuwer says:

    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?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I believe it’s too thick for an instant pot. I do think you could cook this on high for 3-4 hours.
