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.

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!
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?
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.
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.
