- Use a variety of beans for a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker for a more nutritious meal. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and green peppers.
- Season the baked beans with salt, pepper, brown sugar, and molasses. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
- Cook the baked beans on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Stir the beans occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Serve the baked beans hot with cornbread, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
