Maple Baked Beans Crockpot Recipes

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water by 1-inch and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. Drain and rinse the beans and then drain again.
• Place the beans in large pot with 2 quarts water, the onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 50 minutes, or until tender. A good test is to scoop up several beans in a spoon and blow on them: if the skin starts to peel off, they're done. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, chili paste, ginger, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid, still reserving the remaining liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes.
• Transfer the beans to a medium Dutch oven or a bean pot. Push half the bacon into the beans and place the rest on the top. Pour the maple syrup sauce over the beans. Place the lid on top and bake for 6 to 8 hours. Check occasionally; if the beans are too dry, add 1/2 cup more of the cooking liquid. If you like, you can remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. Discard the bay leaf. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Sort and rinse beans; place in a 4-qt. Dutch oven. Cover with 2 qts. cold water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans. Return beans to Dutch oven; cover with remaining water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until almost tender. Drain and reserve liquid. In a 2-1/2-qt. casserole or bean pot, combine beans with all remaining ingredients. Cover and bake at 325° for 2-1/2 hours or until tender. Stir occasionally; add reserved bean liquid, if necessary.

Steps:

• The night before, combine the Great Northern Beans and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Pour beans and their liquid into a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• In the morning, drain off liquid, reserving 1 cup. Pour beans and the reserved liquid into the crock of a slow cooker. Stir in the salt pork, onion, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and pepper. Cover, and cook on Low for 12 to 14 hours. Stir before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add onions, and all remaining ingredients to crockpot, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Steps:

• Place the beans in large bowl. Cover with water and soak overnight at room temperature. Add water, as needed, so that the beans are always covered. Rinse and drain.
• In a slow cooker, combine all the ingredients. Cook for 8 to 9 hours on low, or about six hours on high. Adjust the seasoning.

• Tips : The beans will be better the next day, once they have absorbed all the liquid.

Steps:

• Place beans in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil beans for 10 minutes then cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

• Add remaining ingredients.
• Cook on low 10-12 hours, high 4-5 hours.

Steps:

• In 6-quart Dutch oven, heat beans and 10 cups water to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 2 hours; drain. (You are just precooking the beans; they don't have to be soft.)
• In 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix beans and remaining ingredients.
• Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beans are very tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Steps:

• Soak the dried beans in a large pot of water overnight, then drain. Refill the pot with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
• While the beans are cooking, mix together the maple syrup, molasses, brown sugar, ginger, mustard powder, salt, pepper and water. Set aside.
• Place onion wedges into the bottom of a 3 quart or larger slow cooker. Place salt pork cubes over the onion. Drain the beans, and transfer to the slow cooker. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the beans. If there is not enough liquid to cover the beans, add a little more hot water.
• Cover, and cook on the Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or cook on High for 5 to 6 hours. If cooking the beans on High, you will want to check occasionally in case they need a little bit more water. If the beans are too juicy for your liking, leave the lid off for the last 30 minutes to steam off some of the liquid.

Steps:

• Drain beans and place them into a covered earthenware pan.
• Add remaining ingredients and hot water, mix well.
• Cover and cook in the oven, at 300°F, for 3 hours.
• Remove cover and continue to cook for 1 hour or more until beans are tender and sauce is thickened.

• Combine pinto beans, navy beans, and baking soda in a large pot. Add water until level is 2 inches higher than beans. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Cook for 5 minutes then remove pot from heat. Set aside to soak for 8 hours.
• Drain beans, reserving 1 1/2 cups soaking liquid. Place beans in a slow cooker.
• Place salt pork in a large skillet over high heat; sear until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, cut into small chunks, and add to the slow cooker.
• Add onion to the skillet with the leftover pork fat; cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes; transfer to the slow cooker.
• Combine stout beer, hot water, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic salt, pepper, mustard powder, and liquid smoke in a bowl. Mix well and pour sauce over beans, pork, and onions in the slow cooker. Add the reserved bean soaking liquid.
• Cook on Low until beans are tender, about 10 hours. Drain to desired consistency before serving.
