Reader Karen remembered that last summer I posted my Mom’s infamous crock pot baked bean recipe- and asked if I could pass it along again.
I figured that with Memorial Day coming up the timing is perfect- these beans are so simple, they almost make themselves. They are always a hit at our parties… we’re talking empty-crock-pot-popular!
Crock Pot Baked Beans
Ingredients: 5 cans butter beans (great northern work well, too!), 1 lb bacon (cooked, cut), 12 oz ketchup, 3/4 C brown sugar
Directions:
1) Rinse butter beans and add them to crock pot.
2) Add remaining ingredients to the crock pot.
3) Simmer on low for 4-5 hours.
Serves 8-10
p.s. Many times I’ll just double the recipe to make even more. It serves more people, plus I love having some leftovers- TASTES EVEN BETTER THE NEXT DAY!
Very similar to my hubby’s Gram’s recipe she gave me b4 she died, well no recipe really…I want to perfect the dry beans part, thought maybe you had! It’s cheaper….
