Crock Pot Loaded Baked Beans are a family favorite! It finally feels like a fall in the Pacific Northwest; the rain has returned to us. It was a long hot, dry summer, and this was one of the first times I was so excited to see the rain. That means it’s crockpot season again even.

These Crock Pot Loaded Baked Beans are a family favorite! Last winter, a friend sent me her bean recipe; the kids have been in love with them since she brought them over.  I love that they will eat this since it’s packed full of protein between the beans and beef, but we had to tweak it and add bacon since it’s my family. However, my favorite part is how easy they are to make!

How To Make Crock Pot Cowboy Beans:

Brown up your hamburger and cook up your bacon.

Cooked Ground Beef In Containers Before Freezing

Take a lot of prep work out of weeknight dinners and precook and freeze your cooked ground beef! Pull and defrost the ground beef to put in recipes like this for an easy weeknight dinner! (If you aren’t sure how to best do this, check out Freezing Cooked Ground Beef)

Spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray. I used my 8-quart crockpot ( you can grab one -> here on Amazon) to create this, so I would have a lot of room for mixing the ingredients.

      It makes a lot of beans. I chop the bacon up and brown n a pound. You could do less my family is just a bacon fanatic so we do a lot of it. I also use thick bacon so a lb doesn’t seem like a lot of slices compared to thinly sliced bacon.

    I made these last night, absolutely wonderful.
    I substituted great northern beans for the butter beans and i chopped an Onion and cooked it with the ground beef in place of the onion powder.
    Scrumptious, we’ll definitely make again.

    Hi, I have a question. I am Canadian and as far as I can see I haven’t seen any Bush beans here. So for the can of butter beans. We do have Bake & Chilli. Other cans we have are Tomato beans, maple beans regular beans and brown sugar. Which would be best to replace the butter one. I am so making this. I love baked beans. I so miss my mom’s beans. Thank you.

    Many of your recipes look delicious! It would be very helpful if you would include nutritional information so people like me, with diabetes, or anyone with medical conditions, etc could know if the recipes are appropriate for them.

    I have made a variation of this recipe (which we call calico beans) for over 40 years. Everyone loves it and it usually always shows up at family potlucks. I began using 1/2 pound hamburger and 1/2 pound breakfast sausage(I use Jimmy Dean) years ago and it definitely adds flavor. I sometimes use green Lima beans, other times I use the large butter beans, but I always use pork & beans and kidney beans. You just cannot go wrong with this recipe, it’s my favorite. I also sometimes bake them in oven, then transfer to Crock-Pot to keep warm while serving. You get a depth to flavor in oven cooking. Do what works best for you at that time, they will always be yummy!

      I don’t drain them and rinse them but you could if you want too. I think the juices add a bit of flavor.

      You could just omit them. Maybe try a chili bean in its place but it may change the taste of them.

    People with diabetes: You already know that carbs are bad for you, sugar is also. You just need to watch your portion. I wouldn’t serve my self any more than one cup, to be on the safe side. Pick whether you want this yummy nutritional side dish or dessert in the same meal…for example.

    Can you cook the ground beef in the crock pot with the beans instead of cooking it first then adding to the pot? I think it would add flavor.
