We love BBQ beans with steak, hamburger, chicken, pork or just about anything thing you toss on the grill. We actually could make a meal off of these beans! I often get asked for the recipe so today I measured! I usually cook them in the oven but today I decided to try my BBQ beans in the crockpot and they came out perfect. When I cook these in the oven I don't fry the bacon, I just lay it on top of the beans and cook uncovered. Hope you enjoy!

How To Make darn good loaded crockpot bbq beans

  • 1
    Fry bacon; crumble and set aside. Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until crumbly; drain. I added onion and bell pepper to the meat. NOTE: You can saute the onion and bell pepper in bacon grease if you prefer and then add to meat.
  • 2
    Combine the cooked ground beef mixture with the remaining ingredients (except the bacon) in a crock-pot, mixing well. NOTE: I always spray the crock with PAM for easier cleanup.
  • 3
    Cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours (or on low for 4 to 5 hours). Add fried bacon last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  • 4
    NOTE: If you don't have a crockpot, no problem, just cook over a low to medium heat on top or the stove. Or in the oven at 325 degrees for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (uncovered). Serve with your favorite meat off the grill! Enjoy!
