Slow Cooker Root Beer Baked beans are flavored with root beer and also a touch of molasses. Great for barbecues and potlucks.

Hello! I have a new recipe for you today that I couldn’t wait to share with you. You may think a recipe flavored with root beer would be overly sweet, but this is not. The pork and beans aren’t sweet to begin with and you will see that I did not add brown sugar to this. The beans are just a hint sweet with flavors of the root beer, barbecue sauce, and molasses. If you try these beans you will be pleasantly surprised how well all the flavors taste. My husband took just these for lunch the next day, he loved them!

Look at the color of these beans, the beans are great for a summer get together, but I also think the beans are great for fall too.

      TIP… 1 Tlb. baking soda in Fresh Beans after they are heated through will release the “toots” gases in the beans, rinse well, cover with water and continue with your favorite recipe

      A good treak for any bean recipe. Soak them over night with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Rince them in the morning then boil them at low (mijoter in french) then use your favorite recipe and cook them in a crock pot or in your oven. I jst did that and thry are fabulous and tender. Not tesponsible for the side effects.

      Looks like a great recipe! Do you drain the beans before you put them in the cooker?

      Also, in answer to Patricia above, beans in the slow cooker are super easy! I make my own all the time (no real recipe, lol) so I can control the salt. Usually I sort through the beans, rinse them, and put them in a pot with a lot of water. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. let soak 2 hrs or even over-night. Then rinse beans, put in cooker with whatever you want to flavor them with – I used diced onion and celery, pepper, and a little salt. Cook on high 6 hours or until tender. I often make a big pot, then freeze them in quart freezer bags in 2 cup batches (about the same as a can of beans)

      Can you use a different soda other than root beer?

        Yes, dr. pepper or cola would work great too.

        For this recipe I used barbecue Pete’s fair sauce. It’s in a glass bottle. I found it at Fred Meyer (Kroger)

      Use other bean, like pintos, cannelli, or black beans. There you have control.

      The “baked” beans sound delicious. Do you have any suggestions for making them less salty? Maybe a recipe for slow cooking the beans myself instead of using canned?
