COWBOY BAKED BEANS RECIPE (OVEN OR SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Decide if you are going to make them in a slow cooker or bake in the oven. You can use a deep casserole dish or large pot like a dutch oven. I like a large heavy cast iron pot so I can cook in it and finish baking all in one. Slow cookers are great for parties to keep them warm for several hours.
• Chop the sliced uncooked bacon into small pieces, over medium heat, brown the bacon in a heavy cast-iron skillet or a large cast iron dutch oven on the stove top using a wooden spoon. Tip, you can cut the bacon into small pieces with clean kitchen scissors right into the pot-I find this faster!
• Remove the crispy cooked bacon to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Don't remove the bacon drippings from the pan. Next add the chopped onion and brown for 5-6 minutes until translucent, add the minced garlic, stir for one minute.
• Next, brown the ground beef, cook for 6-8 minutes. Next, add the bacon, back in with the cooked ground beef, onion, and garlic.
• Next, add 3 cans of baked beans (don't drain), 2 cans of kidney beans (drain), 1 can of cannellini beans (drain), and 2 cans of black beans (drain).
• Add the remaining ingredients; brown sugar, cider vinegar, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Stir all the ingredients well to combine.
• Place into the slow cooker or large dutch oven or large deep casserole dish. The baked beans usually doesn't all fit in one standard 9 x 13, you need a deeper dish.
• Cook in slow cooker crockpot on low for 2 hours OR bake 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours in a large covered dish. Serve hot.

EASY SLOW COOKER BAKED BEANS

• Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; add to beef.
• Stir pork and beans, kidney beans, white sugar, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and liquid smoke into the beef mixture.
• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

SLOW COOKED "BAKED" BEANS

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse and clean beans; place beans in a bowl and cover with cold water.
• Soak 4 to 5 hours or overnight and drain. (Rumor is that soaking them overnight negates the reputation beans have earned. Let me know if you find otherwise and I'll suggest a book of matches!)
• Place the beans in a crock pot (I use a 5 quart) and add all the other ingredients. Mix well. Cook on low setting for 13 to 15 hours, high setting for 7 to 8 hours. Test for doneness one to two hours before end of cooking time.
• I cannot use all that this recipe produces at one time but I have had good luck in freezing the leftovers in smaller serving size containers if they are not overcooked. When thawed, the results are still more firm than commercially prepared baked beans and certainly more tasty!
