Crock Pot Bean Recipes

From Mom:

If you can, soak any dried beans over night covered in water.
They cooks lots faster the next day if you do.

With small white beans: (1 lb - about 2+ cups)

Cover the soaked beans with water - generously
add 1 small chopped onion
add 3/4 c molasses
Cook in crock pot until tender - about 5 hours
Ad salt & pepper to taste - then cook a little longer -
if too much water, take off lid, or add a little water if too thick
Good with home made rolls


With red beans

Cover soaked beans generously with water
add 1 small chopped onion - or 1-2 TB dried onion
cut up & fry 1/3 lb bacon - drain grease
Put bacon in with beans and onion
Cook in crock pot on high until tender - about 5 hours
Add salt & pepper to taste - then cook a little longer
VERY good with corn bread

  1. I've heard that soaking them with vinegar helps reduce the gas-producing quality of the beans. Do you know anything about that?
