My Summer Slow Cooker Series just has to give you something to go with our favourite summer barbecue foods. So here it is… the BEST BBQ side dish to impress your guests. This homemade Barbecue Baked Beans Recipe is perfect for a side dish because it’s so simple, cheap as chips, full of smoky flavour and takes almost zero effort in the slow cooker too. It’s my take on the good old British favourite tinned food and, just like Heinz’s version, this dish is so much more than just a BBQ side. Serve leftovers as a jacket potato filling or on toast with a poached egg on top. SO GOOD! This is #10 in my Summer Slow Cooker Series, which means only two recipes to go until the set is complete for you to enjoy. It just so happens that #8 would go perfectly with this recipe – Slow Cooker Jacket Potatoes or Air Fryer Baked Potatoes – another great barbecue side for those al fresco evenings. Catch up with all of the recipes over on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok too.
✅ Amazing value for money ✅ Full of flavour ✅ Impress guests with something different! Sure – simply leave out the bacon bits to make this a veggie dish. Add in 2tsp of smoked paprika to replace that smoky flavour instead. Yes, they keep fine in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. Reheat fully on the hob or in the microwave (it may need a splash of extra liquid as it will get very thick). You can also freeze when totally cold, they will keep in the freezer for 3 months. Defrost fully and then reheat as above. Always the Morphy Richards Sear & Stew Slow Cooker for gas hobs as you can brown ingredients beforehand if really necessary (I do try to avoid this though!) and it is light. For induction hobs, I would go for the Lakeland Digital 6.5l Slow Cooker.
