Tracey's Bean Crock Pot Stew Recipe
- Ready In:
- 1hr 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 13
- Serves:
-
8-10
ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (low fat works well)
- 1 lb bacon (maple flavored is best)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 (16 ounce) can baked beans (maple flavored is best)
- 1 (8 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
- 1 (8 ounce) can light kidney beans
- 1 (8 ounce) can butter beans
- 1 cup brown sugar (dark brown is best)
- 1⁄2 cup ketchup
- 1⁄3 cup yellow mustard (optional)
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- pepper (to taste) or garlic powder (to taste)
- cooked rice
directions
- Brown the hamburger in a skillet, drain it, and rinse it with water (i use paper towels over a noodle strainer).
- Chop with the onion into the size you like.
- Brown the bacon until crispy with the onion.
- Drain bacon/onion mixture or pat with paper towels.
- Combine the hamburger and bacon mixture into a large crock pot.
- Add your beans (bean liquid optional depending on how liquidy you like your stews).
- There is no exact science for the last few ingredients. Each condiment can ruin the beans if overused. So, grab a spoon and start tasting but the amounts listed work just fine if you don't like to brave cold bean stuff.
- Stirring occasionally with the crock pot on a medium setting, let the bean mixture simmer in the crock pot for an hour or so until heated throughly. If you find it getting too thick, add some water.
- I like to serve it over hot brown rice which stretches the amount of serving but it can be eaten as just a soup/stew with crackers.

i'm a 28 year old lab tech who works evenings thus creating unusual eating habits. i eat boring healthy things during the week and (try to ) unleash my creative cooking skills on the weekends. i admit that some nights during the one am or even 2am hr i am drawn to make fantastical food creations which only sometimes taste as good as they sound.
i admit, i am a foodie and really do enjoy talking food with people. i hope to one day take real cooking classes and learn how to chop and dice properly.
my passion is food but my skill/knowledge level is that of a youngester. Zaar has really opened my eyes to just how many ways there are to make one simple food and that there is a large world outside my betty crocker cookbook
