Slow Cooker Baked Beans

July is national baked bean month.
This is a childhood recipe. My mom made this using Campbell's Pork and Beans. It was present at every barbecue we had and often came with us to summer pot-lucks. I've changed it up a little; traded Campbell's for Bush's Baked Beans (yeah, it's redundant but it feeds into my Bush Bros. fetish) added bell peppers and took out the 1/2 cup of brown sugar. It's present at most my barbecues and I'll take it to a pot-luck or two during the summer. It's quick and easy and the leftovers hold for about two weeks.



Slow Cooked Baked Beans
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes


1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mustard
2-3 cans pork and beans (Depends on your tastes)

  1. In a skillet brown ground beef. Drain off excess fat.
  2. When beef is cooked add the onions and bell peppers. Cook on medium heat until onions are translucent.
  3. Put meat mixture, beans, ketchup and mustard into slow cooker and cook on low until thoroughly heated.
  4. Enjoy.
