Crock-Pot Grandma’s Famous Baked Beans

This recipe was sent to us by Crock-Pot Ladies reader Pam Barnes for her grandma’s famous baked beans done up in the slow cooker.

We just love “grandma recipes” they are always the best aren’t they?

Unless your grandma can’t cook…

Then this recipe is for you because it comes from a grandma that CAN cook!

Thanks Pam and her grandma for the great recipe!

This recipe serves a crowd too…12 servings. So this is a great dish to take to your next pot-luck or serve at a outdoor barbecue. Everyone loves some baked beans at a BBQ right?

There is a wee bit of prep work involved with these beans…but not too much. Just cutting up some onion and frying up some bacon.

Bacon

You had me at bacon Pam’s grandma!

Then you just open up some cans of baked beans and toss those in (Pam prefers Bush’s Baked Beans, but feel free to use whatever brand YOU like). And then, just let it simmer away for 4 hours and let it rest for 1 hour, to thicken up those beautiful bean juices.

That sounds wrong…bean juices.

But oh well…that is what they are!
