When I was growing up, a special treat was canned baked beans and hot dogs. I remember searching through the beans, hoping to get one of the pieces of pork. Sometimes the simplicity of a dog and beans hits me just right, and pork and beans is one of my favorite indulgences from my childhood. When my daughter visited a friend in Boston a couple of years ago, she brought me back a package of navy beans with a “traditional recipe” for Boston baked beans printed on the bag of the cloth bag. I decided to adapt the recipe for the crock-pot.

My favorite hot dog brand is Hebrew National, because I think they’re the best, dog-wise, for a lot of reasons. I used 12 ounces of salt pork , since that’s my favorite part, and I like to get a bit of pork with each bite of beans. I actually made this batch the opposite way I usually do, soaking the beans all day and cooking them overnight. The next morning I refrigerated them, reheating and adjusting the seasonings when I got home from work.  The quick-soak method is to bring the beans to a boil. Remove from the heat. Let stand for one hour. Rinse.

Enjoy this slow cooker recipe for Boston baked beans!

    This is such a simple recipe with a handful of ingredients which I’m sure makes it so delicious, too! Don’t understand why anyone would buy beans in a tin when you can make these at home!
