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

Cook’s Tips

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.

Sarah’s Notes

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 great and only gets better with the other ingredients. It’s no different than baking them.

    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?

    This is my third time making Land your man baked beans. Now the family asks for it when we meet for thanksgiving !

  8. Marshall Bolding says:

    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

  9. Alley says:

    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.

  10. Gloria Ruddle says:
