Slow Cooker Baked Beans
Slow Cooker Baked Beans
I made this on 16-17 Oct 2018. Everything went into the slow cooker at 6 pm on the 16th, set to Low and cooked overnight. At 4 am on the 17th, 10 hours later, I have to say these are good! I forgot to add the ketchup, not even noticed, excellent beans, better than anything out of a can. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 500 grams dry Great Northern beans, soaked 6-8 hours, (1 lb)
- 1 onion, diced
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- 250 grams bacon, chopped into 1 inch pieces, (8 oz)
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Bring beans to a boil for about 5-10 minutes in large pot with plenty of water. Then simmer on low until nearly soft, about 40 to 50 minutes. Drain and place beans in your slow cooker. OR as I did, I cooked the beans in my slow cooker.
- Add all other ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Give it a mix to get everything distributed in the beans.
- Cover and cook on Low setting for 10 hours or High setting for 5 hours. Stir occasionally. One hour before finished, if there is too much liquid in the pot, leave the lid off until the liquid is to your liking. Serve or use in other recipes as needed.

Great recipe! The beans looked incredible. I didn’t have molasses and added a little more brown sugar and it came a little sweeter than I anticipated, but that was my fault. Next time I will use molasses and I’m sure it will turn out great.
I am going to use them in the cowboy stew I am making tomorrow. Can’t wait!
Thank you for the great review, Carl, and I agree, they are great looking beans! A missing ingredient, it happens, and for me, it happens a lot for where I live. Yes, brown sugar, honey, or even dark corn syrup are acceptable replacements but will tend to make the dish sweeter. You will enjoy that stew!
