Crock Pot Baked Beans made with homemade ketchup and barbecue sauce is easy, tasty, healthier and perfect for those in your life who love baked beans.
Your father, brother, uncle, hubby, boyfriend, practically any man LOVES baked beans! I've never met one who doesn't! Making this in the crock pot makes this the easiest way to go but oven directions are provided in case you don't have a crock pot.
Just saute the onions and garlic before they go in the crock, add all other ingredients and you are done! Super simple!
If you don't have time to make your own Homemade Ketchup or Homemade Barbecue sauce, here are some brands that are made without corn syrup or other unhealthy sugars:
- Walden Farms, Calorie Free Ketchup
- Walden Farms, Original Barbecue Sauce
Personally I'm not a fan of baked beans but made this specifically for my hubby who is! He loved it and has requested it again for Father's Day!

Have you ever tried bbq baked beans with black soybeans? They have almost no net carbs and lots of fiber!

I used sugar free ketchup, BBQ, and low sugar molasses. They are great baked beans.

You call yourself chef, don’t you know how to remove fat from beef broth, if that is your concern and if you’re buying it from the store, you can buy low or no fat. You need to simmer down. Jeez.

Using fatty, gross beef broth is SICK! And disgusting; and will sicken people. Why on EARTH would you add something as fatty and gross and sickening as beef broth?
Are you trying to harm your vegetarian friends or make the rest of us sick? Use veggie broth for God's sake!!!!!
Brenda
First thing, my website is not a vegetarian one and second, I enjoy and use beef products of all kinds as do many of my readers. I'm sure there are countless recipes for vegetarians as well as websites you would enjoy, but mine is not one of them.

What does the APPLE CIDE VINEGAR add to the recipe? Is it really needed? Does the taste come through in the final dish? I used 1/2 teaspoon in a large chicken salad, and the salad had an aftertaste.

Of all of the baked bean recipes I've found this probably. Lowest to what I want. Most recipes are loaded with sugar but this one has a moderate amount and. An he modified to further reduce it if need it. What's even better is there are no artificial sweeteners in it. That there are links to a homemade ketchup recipe is a bonus. Need to look at that. Wondering if my BBQ spice rub can sub for BBQ sauce though. Will likely used smoked turkey instead of bacon.
Thanks for posting this I may not use as is but definitely something to start with.

You do realize that molasses is sugar right? There may be less sugar leftover in it (as it is the bottom dregs of the process to refine sugar), but it is still processed, still made from cane sugar, and still a sugar product...
Angela
Yes, I was disappointed by this as well. I have a guest who is diabetic, so I was looking for low-sugar recipe, not a low-"sugars that have arbitrarily declared bad" recipe.

How is this refined sugar free? the nutritional information says Sugar = 12g Its no different then a regular can of Bush's baked beans in my opinion
Brenda
Both the ketchup used and the BBQ sauce are made without sugar, my homemade recipes linked in the recipe, but tomatoes do have natural sugar in them that can't be eliminated. No white sugar as been added.

Most of food products are composed of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The sweetest product in this recipe is molasses, if you want to limit the amount of sugar you can add half portion of molasses or not add molasses at all, it will change the recipe but also reduce the amount of sugar.
