Slow Cooker Baked BeansI just love Slow Cooker Baked Beans. It's so nice to come home on a cold winter's day and know that this delicious comfort food is waiting!
This is just as easy as opening a can of baked beans, but is so much tastier! (It goes without saying that it is also healthier and more economical.) For a vegetarian option, just leave out the pork cube. When you drain the beans, be sure to save some cooking liquid - you'll need it. I like to serve this with toast and either a green salad or a plate of assorted raw vegetables. 2 cups/500 mL dried small navy beans 8 cups/2 litres water 1 onion, finely chopped 1 cube (about 2 inches/4 cm) salt pork 1 can (5.5 oz/156 mL) tomato paste 1/4 cup/60 mL molasses 1/4 cup/60 mL maple syrup or brown sugar Put the beans, water, onion and pork into the crockpot.
