Some people put their slow cookers away for the summer but I don’t. I use my slow cooker all year long. It’s a convenient way to prepare food ahead of time and forget about it until it’s time to eat.

One of our favorite summer slow cooked dishes is baked beans. The beans cook nice and slow allowing the flavors to blend together and the kitchen stays nice and cool without the oven on.

Serve  slow cooked beans as a main dish with a side salad or serve them with your favorite burger.

Tips & Variations for Slow Cooked Baked Beans

  • Baked beans are traditionally made with navy beans, but you can use any type of bean that you like.  I use a combination of black, kidney and navy beans.
  • Canned or dried beans can be used to make this recipe.  If you choose to use dried beans, they need to be soaked and cooked before adding them to the slow cooker with the other ingredients.
  • The beans will be ready after cooking for 5 hours, and you can leave them on for up to 2 hours longer to keep them warm until you are ready to eat.
  • Substitute the chili pepper in adobo sauce with 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
  • Slow cooked baked beans are vegan, if you are a  meat lover, change them up by adding 1/2 cup of crumbled bacon.
