Everyone has their favorite recipe for baked beans…this is mine. Sweet and savory beans with bacon and a bit of herb to create the yummiest, most satisfying beans ever! The best part…you can make them up in the slowcooker!
Y’all!!! Like sooo many of you, I grew up on baked beans. As a kid I loved “beanie weanies” and the canned baked beans. We ate them so often that I rarely, as an adult, make baked beans. I probably ate my lifetime quota :).
For summer picnics, however, it’s a bit of a necessity to have a good batch of these crock pot beans as a side dish to the burgers and hotdogs.
If you don’t have a favorite baked beans recipe (and frankly, even if you do!), give this one a try…it will become your new go-to!
