What Other Home Cooks are Saying About Crock Pot Bacon Baked Beans

“I absolutely love this recipe and have made this several times already. I would suggest you drain off some of the liquid in the pork & beans can before adding it to your crock pot for a thicker result which I prefer. I also like to add a little Worcester sauce to balance the flavor. Thanks for this recipe!”

    I was never a fan of beans since I was a kid and my parents made me finish them on my plate that one time. 27 years later I was put in charge of beans to bring to my friends house so I found your recipe. Whelp. Now I love these little sweet morsels of happiness. So much for the 10lbs I lost.

      Hi Rhonda!

      I’m not sure what you are asking. The ingredients all cook together to make a nice, thicker sauce for the beans. If that is what you mean, then yes. I hope this helps!
