Slow Cooker Baked Beans

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Place the beans in a large pot and covering them with plenty of water. Put a lid on and let them soak for about 8 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain the beans and refill the pot with fresh water.

Step 2

Cook the beans over medium heat until they’re tender, which usually takes around an hour. Drain them again, but save some of the cooking water for later.

Step 3

Transfer the beans to your slow cooker. Add ketchup, chopped ham, 1 ½ cups of water, brown sugar, molasses, onion powder, mustard, salt, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and about a cup of that reserved bean water. If it looks a bit dry as it cooks, feel free to add more of the reserved water.

Step 4

Set the slow cooker to low and let everything cook for 7 to 9 hours, stirring occasionally if you can. By the end, you’ll have a rich, flavorful batch of beans ready to enjoy!
