Hello there Slow Cookerers!!
I hope you had a lovely week.
We are smack dab into the "thousand days of May..."
it seems like summer will NEVER GET HERE.
So --- I say we bring it on with some summer picnic food.
:-)
I'm SO glad I was reminded -- because this is a super easy recipe to make when you want something "homemade" but not really.
;-)
It's also great because depending on how you stock your pantry, you very well may have everything in the house already and don't need to go to the store.
Maybe.
Anyhow, since you are making it at HOME, it's most definitely HOMEMADE.
This is Homemade in that you doctored up a can of pork n beans ---
which is NOT CHEATING.
it is called being resourceful.
(that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)

serves 8
1 (45 ounce can) Pork n Beans (or choose Bush's Baked Vegetarian if wanting to keep meat-free)
1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried mustard
Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
Add the entire can of beans to the insert, then the molasses, sugar, onion, and mustard.
Stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours.
Stir well again.
Let the beans sit uncovered and unplugged for 1 hour before serving slightly warm, or at room temperature.
The Verdict.
These beans will be a favorite at your next cookout or family barbecue.
If we are ever able to ever do that ever again.
I, personally, like them best at room temperature, but you can also eat them steaming hot!
If you'd prefer to use fresh onion, use two small yellow onions, finely diced or grated (approx 1 1/4 cup onion).
ENJOY!!

PS: I think you are wonderful. All of you.
need more beans? no problem -- here you go!
