People Often Ask…
That is a terrific question, let me be the first to tell you… it’s super easy!
All you have to do is follow the instructions below, but instead of combining your ingredients in a Dutch Oven, you’ll want to combine them in a Crock Pot. Once all your ingredients are in the Crock Pot, turn the slow cooker setting to LOW and let the beans cook for 4-6 hours or until you’ve achieved your desired consistency.
Whether you’re cooking the baked beans in the oven or a slow cooker, I would highly recommend serving your baked beans out of a Crock Pot!
The Crock Pot doubles as a fantastic serving dish for meatballs, pot roasts, and especially baked beans. No one likes cold baked beans, so Crock Pot allows you to keep them warm, thanks to the WARM setting, while everyone is being served.
