Slow Cooker Baked Beans
These baked beans are the perfect companion to your tender, juicy ribs. They cook slowly, allowing all the flavors to meld together, and they’re completely hands-off, giving you more time to perfect your grilling skills!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups dried navy beans (or your favorite kind)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon, your choice)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by rinsing your navy beans under cold water and then soak them overnight in water. It’s their spa day; let them relax!
- The next day, drain the beans and toss them in your slow cooker. Think of it as their new comfy home!
- Add the diced onions to the beans – they need some company too!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Stir it well until it’s a beautiful harmony of flavors.
- Pour the mixture over the beans. Now it’s time for those little guys to soak in all the goodness!
- Season with salt and pepper. Just be careful with the salt; we don’t want them getting salty about their predicament!
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beans are tender. This gives you plenty of time to whip up those ribs!
- Once they’re done, serve them hot alongside your ribs and watch as everyone dives in headfirst. You might want to grab a bib, though!
There you have it! These slow cooker baked beans will make your ribs feel like they hit the jackpot. Get ready for a symphony of flavors that will have you and your guests craving more!
