Ingredients

  • 30 ounces pinto beans drained, rinsed
  • 30 ounces dark red kidney beans drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup yellow mustard
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 12 ounces bacon cooked, drained, and chopped

Instructions

  • To a slow cooker, add the beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, water, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce and half the bacon.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Cook on low for 3 hours.
  • Remove lid and garnish with remaining bacon.
  • Serve warm!

Notes

  • Serve warm by keeping it in the crock or slow cooker and giving it a stir occasionally.
  • Looking for some extra pizazz? Try adding smoked paprika or sautéed medium onion for a little kick!
  • Store in an airtight container for up to four days! Freshen it up with a dash of brown sugar and a bit of mustard.
  • To save prep time, cook the bacon in advance so it’s ready to go!
  • Want even more flavor? Add chili powder, maple syrup, and some Dijon mustard.
  • Large slow cooker? Double the recipe!
  • Add cooked ground beef or even hot dogs to make a complete meat and beans dinner.
  • Cook these in a dutch oven on the stove top if you prefer this over slow cooking.
