Baked Recipe » The Best Slow Cooker Baked Beans (Dad's Recipe)

This recipe was handed down from my dad. I adjusted it to go into the slow cooker. It's a lot easier. Just set it and forget it.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package dried navy beans
• 4 cups water, or more as needed
• ½ cup molasses
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon dry mustard
• ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ pound salt pork, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, sliced

Cooking Directions

1. Place the navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and transfer beans to a pot; add enough water to cover beans.
2. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until beans are slightly tender, about 1 hour.
3. Mix 4 cups water, molasses, brown sugar, salt, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
4. Mix beans, salt pork, and onion together in a slow cooker. Add molasses mixture and more water to cover beans if needed; stir well.
5. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
