You will know why this dish has the name Land your Man Baked Beans once you give it a try! So much flavor in these meaty baked beans.
Baked beans don’t need to be made the same way every time! For some variety, try my classic baked beans, Ribs and baked beans or Hawaiian baked beans next!
This recipe has a funny name; it’s an older vintage recipe. No need to get upset or offended by the name; please just give these flavorful, hearty baked beans a try! You can thank me later.
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.
I don’t need a man or ever want to land a new one; even so, these beans are indeed worth trying. More vintage recipes I love like this one are Engagement Chicken, Marry Me Chicken, or Blueberry Boy Bait.
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 your baked beans and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker and stir.
Step Two – Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7 ( up to 8) hours, try not to open the lid during the cooking time.
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.
Recipe FAQs
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.
Yes! Use the same amount of beans but double the brown sugar.
If you shockingly have any leftovers, be sure to put them in the fridge straight away. Store 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?
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!
I have loved all of your recipes that I have tried, but this one not so much. I find there is an after taste & think it’s starting out with baked beans, then adding more baked bean ingredients on top. Can you suggest another type of canned bean to start with?
I just used regular pork and beans. love mine
dark brown sugar or light?
I use light though dark is fine.
i am making it now had to sub the green peppers for celery hubby doesn’t like peppers also left out the bacon can’t have grease lol but put extra hamburger in
Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
Yes, will be fine.
This and engagement chicken should do the trick!
LOL, right?!
