Tips:

  • To make the beans extra tender, soak them in water overnight before cooking. Drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this recipe on the stovetop. Bring the beans, water, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, onion, garlic, and salt to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  • For a thicker sauce, mash some of the beans with a potato masher or fork before adding the cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve the beans over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. You can also use them as a topping for nachos or tacos.
