Slow Cooker Baked Beans {a Family recipe}

JULY 1, 2015  /  JANELLE PARIS  / 

Would you believe out of all the recipes on Comfy in the Kitchen, THIS recipe is one of my absolute favorites? An excellent choice for a potluck or for blessing a busy family. Even better, you can make this in the morning and have one of your side dishes done when you put together a meal.

It's simple to make, sweet, savory, filling, naturally allergy friendly and ohhhh so good. A family recipe that was meant to share.

Brown 6 slices of bacon in a skillet on medium heat.

Drain on paper towel. Reserve renderings {bacon fat} in your skillet.

Slice one large onion and sautee in bacon renderings on medium-high heat.

In the meantime, turn your crockpot onto the high 4 hours setting and add brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt and cider vinegar.

Drain Great Northern beans, Red Kidney beans, and Butter beans.

Add everything to crockpot. Onions with drippings, pork and beans, drained beans, and bacon {crumbled a bit}. Stir well, cover and cook for 4 hours.

Enjoy, my friends!
