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!
In a slow cooker, place beans, chopped onion, brown sugar, molasses, tomato sauce, ketchup, BBQ sauce, salt and pepper. Stir well. Add water and stir again.
Add ham bone or bacon and stir.
Set slow cooker on low and cook for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours.
When done, stir the mixture and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes with lid slightly open.
To freeze, cool beans completely, then place in Ziploc bags.
