Meet your favorite summer side dish. These slow cooker baked beans are a delicious crowd-pleaser that are so easy to make!

Slow Cooker Baked Beans

Imagine this: You’re invited to a BBQ this summer and you have a decision to make…

a) Show up empty-handed.

b) Buy a side dish or dessert at the grocery store to take with you.

c) Make homemade baked beans and look like a rockstar.

If you ask me, “c” is the obvious answer.

Slow Cooker Baked Beans

If you’ve never made homemade baked beans before, don’t panic. This slow cooker baked beans recipe is so easy and so delicious! It tastes even better as the flavors meld together so feel free to make it a couple of days in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to heat it in your slow cooker and serve. (This is a great time-saver when you’re the host.)

Slow Cooker Baked Beans

I make these slow cooker baked beans in my 6-quart slow cooker and they’re the perfect side dish for a crowd.  If you’re feeding less people, I recommend cutting the recipe in half and serving it in a 3-quart or 4-quart slow cooker instead.
