What Other Home Cooks are Saying About Crock Pot Bacon Baked Beans
“I absolutely love this recipe and have made this several times already. I would suggest you drain off some of the liquid in the pork & beans can before adding it to your crock pot for a thicker result which I prefer. I also like to add a little Worcester sauce to balance the flavor. Thanks for this recipe!”

I never know what kind of onion to use in recipes! yellow, white, purple?
I used a white onion in this recipe. Enjoy!
I have never been a fan of just plain ole pork and beans from a can – but this recipe has really changed my mind. I added hot dogs like another review did. OMG – great beans and franks. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

I was never a fan of beans since I was a kid and my parents made me finish them on my plate that one time. 27 years later I was put in charge of beans to bring to my friends house so I found your recipe. Whelp. Now I love these little sweet morsels of happiness. So much for the 10lbs I lost.
OMG, this looks delicious Aunt Lou, making it for the 4th of July as written ❤️
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

HI!! I don’t have a crock pot that small. Is it possible to cook them on the stove?
Thanks
Hi Rachel!
You can use the technique in this recipe to make smaller recipes in larger crock pots: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-oatmeal-steel-cut/
I haven’t tried this recipe on the stove, but think it could work. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Can you make these beans leaving the bacon uncooked prior to adding to the crockpot and letting it cook while the beans cook?
Hi Donna!
I haven’t tried making it with uncooked bacon, but this it will work. Keep in mind, it will change the texture a bit.
Aunt Lou

Hi Mary!
I haven’t made this recipe with the bacon being made the night before, but I do believe it should work. If you try it this way, let me know how it goes!

Hi Melissa!

Dose the beans get Thick when cooking in the crockpot
Hi Rhonda!
I’m not sure what you are asking. The ingredients all cook together to make a nice, thicker sauce for the beans. If that is what you mean, then yes. I hope this helps!
