How to Make Cowboy Beans in a Slow Cooker

When we saw these Easy Crock Pot Cowboy Beans in Gooseberry Patch’s  Busy Day Slow Cooking Cookbook I knew we were going to make them! We are BIG fans of cowboy beans around here and these sweet and savory beans did not disappoint! Mikey even made a video about it (above)!

  • We like to use a multi-cooker to brown our ground beef and sausage in the same pot.
  • You can use our Air Fryer Bacon to make your crisp bacon for this recipe super easy.
  • This recipe easily doubles and triples for parties and potlucks, just use the slider in our recipe card.

As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Delicious, I put in twice as much bacon and a full lb of beef but thats just because we’re fat like that. Hubby forgot the brats, which is what I was going to use. Personally Im using way less chili powder next time, kindof overpowered the beans to my taste, I like them sweeter but still 5 stars because everyone loved them

    Nice recipe as is. We’ve prepared this a good number of times since it was first published a few years ago. We’ve cut back a little on the 4 sweeteners and it was still quite good. And especial thanks for not labeling it “chili”, because that one TBS of chili powder doesn’t make it so.

    Wow! This is a fabooo recipe. I did not use ground beef. Just breakfast sausage and bacon. I have a recipe for something called Magic Dust from another recipe for baked beans so I added that spice .. it has chili powder and other ingredients in it. No kidney beans or butter beans either. People are still raving over it. Thank you so much! PS.. I like fresh garlic and I wanted to use a red pepper so I chopped that up and sauteed as well . Extremely versatile recipe.

    How much bacon crumbles do you use in place of 1/2 lb cooked bacon?

      Hi Sue!
      It is really up to you. Half pound would equal 8 oz, but you can use more or less according to taste. Enjoy!

      Hi Rob-
      That will vary depending on if you are eating it as a main dish or a side with other sides. In general we say it feeds 8-10 as a side. Enjoy!

    i can’t wait to fix these — i have a similar recipe i’ve been doing for years but this sounds even better. Mine uses only ground beef (no sausage or bacon – and we know that sausage and bacon ALWAYS makes things better), and it only uses pork & beans and chili beans. this will be great for our summer barbeques.

    Hi Roxanne-
    I would just substitute brown sugar for the molasses. Enjoy!

    Is there a substitute for the molasses you can suggest?
