Slow Cooker Baked Beans with Sausage
Slow Cooker Baked Beans with Sausage is a one-pot meal that’s ready when you are.
On a chilly winter day, it’s a relief to arrive home after a busy day with supper pretty much cooked. With just 10 minutes of simple prep in the morning, this recipe for slow cooker baked beans has just one easy step remaining before supper’s on the table. The beans have all day to cook in their flavourful sauce and then you simply lay the sausage on top to cook and release extra flavour into the bean mixture. Prep a basic salad and you’re all set.
No bean soaking required
We use canned white beans for this recipe to avoid the planning and time required to soak beans from dry and pre-cook them. If you’d prefer to use dried beans in this recipe be sure that they’re fully cooked before you add them to the slow cooker. This recipe calls for just 1 1/2 cups of water which isn’t enough for partially cooked beans.
This recipe is a contemporary riff on old times beans & wieners. It works with all of your favourite sausage flavours. We have made it with garlic and herb sausage, spicy chorizo and a low-fat sun-dried tomatoes.

Can these recipes be adapted for Diabetics (Pre-Diabetics)?
Crosby Molasses
Hi Louise, I’m sure there is a way to adapt the recipe for diabetics but I don’t know the ins and outs of carbohydrate limits and other nutrients that need to be balanced to make a recipe diabetic friendly. Sorry.
Janet
Hi wish you had the nutritional break down including sodium and calcium as well as the other stuff.. on a sodium reduced diet and also trying to up my calcium intake and I have heard molasses is high and so are the beans. So thought this might be a good option.
Lynn Purdy
Janet, Sorry about the nutritional information. There are lots of apps out there that can help you with your needs. I use MyFitnessPal, I can import a recipe and it will tell me a lot of details that most recipes may not provide. It may help you with your sodium-reduced diet.

Frank
This recipe calls for cooking “on medium for 6-8 hours.”
I am puzzled, as our slow cookers have High / Low / Keep Warm options…
Is this an error in the recipe, or are there slow cookers with a Medium setting?
Thanks
Crosby Molasses
Hi Frank, If your slow cooker doesn’t have a medium setting I would go with low.
