How to make crockpot baked beans with canned beans:

Ok, I promise that this recipe is easy to make since the crock pot does all the work!

First, spray the inside of your crock pot casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.  This will make the dish easier to clean and ensure that beans don’t get stuck to the bottom.

Then in a mixing bowl, combine the pork and beans, the bbq sauce, brown sugar, jalapeños and diced onions. Mix well until all of these ingredients are well combined.

Next chop half the bacon into pieces. I like to cook the bacon slightly in a skillet over medium heat before adding it in. Fold in the chopped bacon into the mixing bowl.

Pour the mixture into the crock pot casserole dish.  Then place the whole slices of bacon on the top of the pork and beans in the crockpot.

Next place the lid on top and cook for 2 hours on high or cook on low for 4 hours.

Allow the ingredients in the slow cooker to sit for 15 minutes slightly uncovered and serve. (the longer it sits the thicker the beans get).  If you find that the beans are too thick slowly add cups of water until they are consistency that you desire.

Yes of course you can but I usually don’t because this is my favorite lazy day recipe, so the easier the better for me!  If you want to use dry beans, you’ll need to soak them overnight and add tomato sauce and salt pork that is already in the canned pork and beans that is used for this recipe.  Also, you can use navy, pinto or great northern beans for this recipe.
