Slow Cooker Baked Beans

I think baked beans belong at every barbecue. The only problem is that I also think it’s too hot to turn the oven on. Slow Cooker Baked Beans are the perfect flavorful solution to the problem!
Slow Cooker Baked Beans. Couldn't be easier. Little Dairy on the Prairie
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. 
Summer barbecue season is in full swing and I think baked beans belong at every barbecue. The problem is, I don't like turning my oven on in the summer. Slow Cooker Baked Beans are the prefect!
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!
