Elevate traditional baked beans with this easy and flavorful slow cooker Yankee beans recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound dried great Northern beans, soaked overnight
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 0.5 pound bacon, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup tomato puree
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard powder
  • 1 ham bone with some meat
  • 3 cups boiling water, or as needed
  • 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook onion and bacon until onions are golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes, and cook for an additional minute to infuse flavors.
  • Transfer the soaked beans into a 3 1/2-quart or larger slow cooker. Mix in the onion and bacon mixture, maple syrup, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder. Submerge the ham bone in the beans and pour in enough hot water to cover them. Place a bay leaf on top.
  • Cook on High for 5 hours or Low for 10 to 11 hours, then season with vinegar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper after removing bay leaf just before serving.
