Growing up, the idea of baked beans always came out of a can… and wasn’t exactly something I personally liked. Then, I met my husband who LOVES baked beans. It wasn’t until I started making baked beans myself – and not warming up store bought baked beans in a can – did I appreciated them.
This recipe is done in crockpot/slow cooker, making it easy to put together and step away to focus on other things. This is another recipe I’m planning to make during the upcoming Labor Day holiday!
