Slow Cooker Baked Beans
Smokehouse Bacon Beans are an easy recipe with bold flavors. Rich and thick beans slow cooked for hours in a mixture of molasses, brown sugar, veggies, smoky spices and bacon, bacon and more bacon. Most possibly the cook-out side dish of your dreams!
Nothing says summer quite like a cook-out filled with grilled eats, sides, salads and beans. My perfect cookout menu includes burgers and dogs, my moms potato and macaroni salads, roasted corn and beans. I am so excited to be sharing recipes for our favorites with you this summer.
Have you ever tasted baked beans so smoky and rich that you could eat them for an entire meal? Well, these are the beans of your dreams! It all starts with a pound of bacon, veggies and the fixins for the best tasting smoky beans you have ever eaten.
Prepared in a slow cooker the recipe is as easy as soaking the beans overnight and then dumping all the ingredients into the slow cooker and letting them go all day (or night). The results are incredible. Deep rich molasses and brown sugar add to the body of the smokey, tender beans. The vinegar helps mellow out the sweetness so it is perfect. These beans are reminiscent of the beans you would enjoy at a smokehouse. Now you can have them at home.
Chad and I went nuts with these, as I mentioned I ate bowls of them on their own and Chad put them on everything you can imagine. They are the perfect topping to a grilled burger, just add a slice of cheese! This dish will be a hit at your cook-out, just be sure to bring the recipe with you. Everyone will ask for it!
