Homemade Pork and Beans, Slow Cook Method (Gf)

Submitted by All about pies in W

"I like this recipe because its simple and quick and a good way to empty out those ketchup bottles! Once it is put together in the cooker you can forget about it until supper. I serve this with toast and a salad. The leftovers are frozen and added to homemade chili. For those on gluten free diets, please make sure all your ingredients are GF."

Great recipe! I used canned pink beans instead of the dried (was in a rush). I'm just glad to find a recipe that *doesn't* use prepared baked beans. This had a good balance of sweet and savory. Other recipes I've tried had WAY too much molasses, and turned out looking black in color instead of brown, the way these did.

This is a wonderful recipe!!! thank you! I was concerned about the amount of liquid, but it did cook down. My beans must have been old because it's on it's 2nd day of cooking and they're just now getting soft. I used molasses and the smell is wonderful (even the cats were sniffing the air!). I did not use the soy sauce though....just doesn't sound right! thanks again!

I found this recipe last week only, I didn't know why I missed it for a longgg time. I made this yesterday. I can not believe the result, it was delish, my husband and I enjoyed it. I will surely make it again (and winner, it's not from a can). Thank you!

Just finished making this. I cut the recipe in half because I only had 2 cups dry navy beans. These beans were awesome. I will make this recipe many more times. Even my husband, who prefers pork & beans from cans, loved them.

This was the very first time that I made Pork and Beans. I was so impressed with the recipe, I will definitely make it again. The only item that I omitted was the soya sauce. Thank you for sharing :)
