They’re famous for a reason. Wanna know why?
Boy oh boy do I have a special treat for you guys today. My mom recently came up for a visit. Being the social butterfly that she is, Mom had several gatherings to attend while she was in town.
Do you want to know what they all requested her to make? Yep, you’ve got it! Her FAMOUS baked beans. These baked beans are seriously the best.
Mom usually makes her beans in the oven, but it takes 5 hours and I really dislike heating up my house in the summer. So I set out to replicate her beautiful beans in the crockpot. Guess what? I DID IT! Whoop whoop!
Mom’s Famous Crockpot Baked Beans
- 3 cans (15.5 oz) pinto beans (you can also use regular pork n beans, but to make this vegetarian friendly, use pinto)
- 1 & 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoon Coleman’s dry mustard
- 1.5 cups ketchup
- Start by mixing together brown sugar and dry mustard. Mix until well combined
- Next, pour beans into crockpot. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture on top of beans. Stir until combined.
- Top beans with ketchup. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5 hours. After time is up, uncover and continue cooking on HIGH for 30-45 more minutes until beans thicken.

I have eaten these beans at your moms house this spring after a golf tournament…….Love. Love….. the beans and your mom! Awesome! I am so glad you shared both with the world! 🙂
Corey says
You are so sweet Laura! 🙂
Kimberly Schoner says
I am excited to try them for my son’s 25th birthday gathering this weekend! Going to double the batch and see how I do!
Liz says
Nice recipe. Thanks Corey and have a wonderful Monday.
Melissa @ My Recent Favorite books says
These sound delicious!! Bakes beans are my favorite side dish!
Sharing on Google + and Pinterest. =)
Lynda says
Corey do you have to rinse the pinto beans before placing them in the crockpot?
Corey says
No, I did not. I wanted to keep the extra liquid 🙂
Annette Baldwin says
How many people will the crock pot baked beans feed ? I am having a pig pickin expecting 40 people. Should I double the receipt?
Corey says
This recipe serves about 8-10. (but they are so yummy, people usually end up going back for more! haha)
Anna says
Do you drain the beans?
Corey says
Yes you do 🙂
Breanna says
I halved this recipe when I made it so that I wouldn’t have to many leftovers and baked it in a 3 qt. crockpot. It turned out good but the ketchup flavor was really strong, so next time I’m going to use half the amount called for. I really like how simple this recipe is!
allison says
The ingredients list says 1.5 cups ketchup, but then in the procedures it says 2 cups ketchup – which is it?
Corey says
Sorry for the confusion Allison, it is 1.5 cups 🙂
Elizabeth Vega says
We made these yesterday, and they were so delicious, I wanted to stop by and thank you for sharing the recipe! Our carnivore and vegetarian friends alike really enjoyed them and so did we.
We started with dried pinto beans (3 cups), and reserved enough of the cooking liquid to approximate the amount that would be in the cans, and followed the rest of the recipe as written. That probably saved us a couple of dollars over using canned beans.
This recipe is definitely a keeper, thanks again!
Leigh says
How about substituting canned northern or navy beans?
Cara says
I plan to double this recipe; will that change the cook time? Thanks!
Tracy says
Great recipe! Instead of 1.5 cups of ketchup, I did 3/4 c ketchup and 3/4 c barbecue sauce. Made it for a party, and everyone loved it. Thanks!
Kaitlyn says
Do you stir the beans with the ketchup at all? I notice it says to put the ketchup on top and cook, but at any point do you stir it all together and continue cooking?
Mary Lee says
Could I substitute molasses for most of the brown sugar. Like 3/4 cup molasses and 1/2 cup brown sugar mixed with the dry mustard and then mix into the molasses before adding to the beans. Do like the sound of the recipe but have lots of molasses on hand. thanks for the help.
Theresa Johnson says
Thank You for posting this. I was really happy to find this. I actually like these better in the crockpot than in the oven now. My moms recipe growing up was really similar. For the first time I made bacon in the over & put the little slices on top of the beans before cooking in the crock pot & it was just like my moms.
