Once August arrives I know our summer is unofficially over. I don’t even like to think about it, but it’s true. Football season starts taking all of our evenings. August is the busiest month for farming. When we do have a free evening though, I always want to have a barbecue. We have to soak up every last drop of summer as possible. It seems to me that baked beans should be a staple at every barbecue. Beans and barbecues are like peanut butter and jelly! Anyway, I avoid turning my oven on in the summer. It’s just too darn hot. I decided to make slow cooker baked beans the other day. I made them before church and let ’em go until we got home. They couldn’t have been easier. The flavor? Killer! They were so good! The are sweet and spicy and a little tangy. 
Finish the summer out strong and barbecue every chance you get. Too soon we will be sipping on hot cocoa and wondering when we are ever going to get back outside. Let your slow cooker bake your beans and soak up the last of the summer fun!

Amy – great recipe – I add one more ingredient to mine – small undrained can of crushed pineapple – best served cold at picnic, potluck, whatever………bob
I love pineapple and have seen it in lots of baked beans recipes but haven’t ever tried it. I’m going to though! Thanks for stopping by!
Amy…what size can of pork & beans?…Probably the big cans, right?
