How to Make Baked Beans Crock Pot
- Rinse 1 (28 ounce) can of kidney beans and 1 (15 ounce) can of pinto beans. Soak in enough cold water to cover by at least 2 inches for at least 12 hours (or overnight).
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Transfer to a large pot and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until tender.
- While beans simmer, cook 1/2 pound bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside; crumble when cool. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, and 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- In your slow cooker, combine the cooked beans, bacon, cooked onions, and the prepared sauce. Stir to combine.
- Ensure the beans are generously covered with liquid. Add more chicken broth or a combination of juices if necessary.
- Cook on low for 12 hours or on high for 8 hours.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, taste and adjust seasoning. Add salt to taste if needed.
