Crockpot Baked Beans

By Melzie

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 5 slices turkey bacon, chopped
• 4 oz ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 (16 oz) can vegetarian beans in tomato sauce
• 1 (16 oz) can vegetarian baked beans
• 1 (16 oz) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 2 TB brown sugar
• 1 - 2 tsp liquid smoke
• 1/2 tsp maple flavoring

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly spray an unheated medium skillet with no stick spray. Add the onions and bacon. Cook and stir over medium high heat until the onions are tender. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, stirring occasionally.

Transfer the onion mixture to a 4 - 6 qt crockpot. Stir in the beans in tomato sauce, baked beans, kidney beans, tomato sauce, brown sugar, liquid smoke, and maple flavoring. Cover and cook on the medium high setting for 4 - 6 hours (if necessary, adjust the heat setting so the beans slowly simmer during cooking.) Stir before serving.
