Crockpot BBQ Beans


These beans are super yummy! They aren't authentic pioneer beans, but they sure are good and your family won't know... I promise! These are good as a main dish or a side dish for your pioneer dinners or every day. We eat a lot of beans at our house. The kids love them like this. They don't even mind the green beans. I usually make my pinto and kidney beans from dried and freeze them in 2 c. containers for recipes.

This dish can be made several hours ahead of time, which is really nice! You can even make them a day ahead, keep them in the fridge and just heat them in the crockpot.

BBQ "Pioneer" Beans

Place in your crockpot:

1 can (2 c.) kidney beans, drained
1 can (2 c.) pinto beans, drained
1 can pork and beans
1 can green beans, drained
1 pkg real bacon bits or about a cup of crumbled cooked bacon

Mix together and pour over beans:

1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
1 c. ketchup
1 1/2 T vinegar
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Cook on low for 4 hours (longer if refrigerated first) or on high for 1-2 hours until hot.
