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 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 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

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 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.

      I can’t wait to try this recipe. I made your Slow Cooker Ham & Beans recipe a few days ago and my husband said they were the best beans I’ve ever made. Thank you!

      I’ve got cooking in the CP now the only change I made was no bell pepper. My plan is a cast iron skillet of corn bread to go with it.
      Will let you know how it turns out

      Came across this recipe and tried it. The only change I made is that after following the recipe exactly was to chop an onion and saute it in some butter and let everybody stir some into their own servings once the beans were done.

      This looks delicious! My husband actually probably wouldn’t care for it, it’s too similar to chili for him to consider it baked beans and it’s too similar to baked beans for him to consider it chili. He’s a difficult guy sometimes XD

      I am preparing this recipe for dinner tonight. The beans smell amazing and I know my husband will love my selection for dinner. We cheated and already tasted the beans before they simmer all day. Oh my, delicious! Thank you, Sarah Olson.

      Love the recipe, I did though make some substitutions
      I used real maple syrup instead of brown sugar
      Spicy stone ground mustard
      I also cut the ketchup in have and used Thai chili sauce for the other half
      Family went crazy for it

      My mother made blueberry boy bait a lot when I was growing up – it is delicious! Basically a big blueberry muffin. My dad was always pretty pumped when he found out we would be having it at dinner.
