Slow Cooker Baked Beans

Slow Cooker Baked Beans – comfort food classic made easy in the slow cooker with dried beans (no cans!). Use a leftover ham bone or bacon for best flavor. This recipe is a family favorite!

We love serving these beans with grilled chicken, pulled pork and a side of coleslaw.

SLOW COOKER BAKED BEANS

I can now officially say that I used every last bit of our Christmas ham. We enjoyed a hefty part of it for our holiday dinner, the leftovers got chopped and mixed in to make this delicious chowder and I even froze some for a breakfast casserole this weekend. The ham bone had a lot of meat on it and I knew I would use it to make something fantastic. What better dish than baked beans! In a slow cooker, because they are the best cooked slow.

If you are looking for real comfort food to warm up your soul – these baked beans are soft, rich in flavor thanks to the sweet and tangy sauce with chunks of meat or bacon. Pure comfort food!

Instant Pot Refried Beans – the best refried beans made with dry pinto beans, no soaking required. Flavorful, creamy and done in under 1 hour! So much better than canned beans!

The Instant Pot is my go-to for cooking beans. My Instant Pot Black Beans are done in under 30 minutes!

Cooking beans in my Instant Pot is truly life-changing. No more canned beans! You can easily cook them in your electric pressure cooker, no soaking needed. Refried beans start with dry pinto beans, sauteed onion, garlic and spices. Add vegetable stock and water and let the Instant Pot do its magic. Once done, all you need to do is mash them to desired consistency.

Mexican Layered Dip is a must for any party, get-together or especially a game day in our house. Layers of deliciousness packed into one irresistible dip. If I don’t serve my Chili Queso Dip ( the best queso from scratch recipe! ), I make this layered dip. It is always a hit!

This dip is made of layers of my favorite Mexican food ingredients. Refried beans and my guacamole with taco-spiced sour cream are already delicious. Add flavor-bursting salsa or pico de gallo and a layer of shredded cheese and this dip will be gone in no time!
