Baked Beans You Will Love To Make For Dinner
Baked beans are sometimes baked, but they are also cooked on top of the stove. I have been known to make baked beans in a slow cooker. They are more like baked beans in a sauce made with different ingredients. I really like bell peppers, onions, and bacon. It’s that time of year when you may need a new recipe to take to a neighborhood party, or possibly a family reunion. I want to share this really good baked beans recipe with you today so you can try it ASAP before you go to your next get-together.
I like my beans with a little thicker sauce so I like to cook mine without a lid or cover on the pan in which I bake them. You can use your favorite barbecue sauce, but I tend to like of these in the recipe:”Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce” or “Kinder’s Barbecue Sauce,” it’s your personal preference.
Baked Beans
- Ingredients:
- 1 16-ounce can white beans
- 1 16-ounce can black beans
- 7-8 slices of bacon cooked and crispy broken into bite-size pieces
- 3/4 cup cooked pulled pork
- Saute the onions and bell pepper:
- One small sweet onion chopped into bite-size pieces
- One red bell pepper-chopped into bite-size pieces
- Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce to taste
-
Instructions: Combine ingredients and bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes or until the edges bubble. I do not cover the beans. You can also cook them in your slow cooker on low for about 4-5 hours.
Ideas To Go With Baked Beans:
Hot dogs with condiments
Hamburgers with condiments
Chips and dips
Vegetable Sticks with various homemade dips
Fruit on a platter
Water with lemon slices, don’t forget the ice
Tablecloth, paper plates, cups, and utensils, don’t forget the serving spoons
Are any of you going to a family reunion this year? Do you add any items to your baked beans that you love? I hope you are enjoying the weather where you live, life is good! Please be prepared for the unexpected. May God bless you and your family.

Linda,
do you have an idea to make beans less “gas” producing??
I hope I’m allowed to answer this. Make, don’t buy canned beans. It’s so easy. To prevent the gas: soak dry beans in lots of water over night. Drain in the morning and cook slowly several hours with fresh water.
Hi Brenda, great comment, and tip! I love it! I love beans!! Linda
Hi Deb, I wrote an article about this very thing: Anti-Gas:
I found this great product while teaching classes in a store in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is Organic Ajwain Seeds. After you soak your beans, drain off the water and cover with fresh water and add the required amount of Ajwain seeds. You just add 1/4 teaspoon of Ajwain Seeds to 2 cups of dry beans while cooking. The spice smells so good. It’s like a Mexican seasoning. It’s organic and adds flavor to the beans, as well as the anti-gas factor! I still add my favorite spices like cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cocoa, etc. Ajika Organic Ajwain Seed, 2.2-Ounce. I bought them on Amazon. I hope this helps, Linda
thank you so much ladies!@!@
Hi Deb, thanks for your comment!! Linda
Looks like Pinto beans and not black beans in the recipe.
Hi Tom, the recipe calls for black beans but I only had pinto beans and white beans, any beans would work. It’s all about the other ingredients that give it the flavor. I love these beans. Linda
