Baked beans are a year-round staple for us and, while we love trying out different types, throwing in chorizo or hot dogs is our absolute favorite way to enjoy them. Here, we’ve perfected the spicy, smoky flavor and come up with a way to make this dish easily in the slow cooker; now you don’t have to wait around while the beans cook in the oven – all you have to do is throw everything in together and turn on the power! We’re telling you, it doesn’t get any better than this, so check these bad boys out!

This recipe is seriously such a breeze to pull together, it makes for the perfect choice when you have friends over. Use the oven for whatever bigger dishes you’re making, but free up space with this slow cooker recipe…anytime we make it, it gets devoured, so you really can’t go wrong!
