Pineapple Crock Pot Baked Beans make for a one of a kind delicious side dish for your next BBQ or potluck. The recipe comes together in a flash and it is likely to disappear quickly as your friends and family will absolutely need a second helping!
I love baked beans, they’re pretty much a staple for every BBQ or cookout around here and this Pineapple Crock Pot Baked Beans recipe is one of our favorites. Delicious beans with tidbits of juicy pineapple, bacon, green peppers and onions cook up effortlessly in the slow cooker!
You can start this recipe in the morning and go about your day without having to check back in on the beans. That alone makes it an ideal summer recipe for me! I prefer to spend summer afternoons on the deck and not in my kitchen!
You can adjust sweetness with more or less molasses depending on your baked bean preferences. If you don’t have dijon you can use regular mustard and the recipe will still taste great! Not only can this recipe be modified, but it also it goes well with every kind of cook out food possible! From burgers and steaks to chicken or even over toast, pineapple crock pot baked beans will complement the meal perfectly.
If you prefer thicker baked beans, leave the lid off of the slow cooker for the last 30-45 minutes of cook time. If the beans get too thick while sitting on warm, stir in a little bit of hot water to get right consistency.

Made a couple of substitutions:
•Used Dark Brown Sugar vs Bootstrap Molasses.
•Used Red bell pepper vs Green pepper.
•Used only 1 T Dijon mustard vs 2 T
•Used mild salsa vs tabasco sauce.
•Used 1 Vidalia onion vs 1 White onion.
It turned out to be very delicious but next time I’m going to bbq some hot dogs & add them to this.
Easiest and tastiest way to change up typical baked beans recipe!
Will be making this today for the 4th of July weekend. Thank you.
I made this with fresh diced pineapple & used cranberry beans that i had cooked from dry. We really enjoyed it & will make again!
I’m confused about the baked beans in the tomato sauce step. Does this require tomato sauce or do baked beans and tomato sauce come together in a can? Thank you! Making it tonight for a party.
The baked beans come in tomato sauce. It’s almost like pork and beans (but without the pork).
Thank you so much for your quick response!
Just made this Baked Bean Recipe on the weekend and it was a hit.
Thanks for leaving a comment, Cyndi! So glad you enjoyed it :)
Can’t wait to try the crockpot Baked bean recipe
I especially love the slow cooker recipes!
Do you have any tasty variations for none meat eaters? Your recipes look really tasty.
Thank you Lily! The only version I have has a bit of bacon. While I haven’t tried it, you can try leaving the bacon out and perhaps add a bit of salt and liquid smoke to add some extra flavor. Let us know how it goes!
Absolutely delicious! I used 28 oz. Bush’s Bold and Spicy and then the small can was plain pork and beans, because that’s what I had on hand. I followed the recipe to a T and I will make this again and again.
I’m so glad you loved it Fran!
Great recipe. I used one 16oz can of beans with 8 oz of dried navy beans soaked overnight then boiled . Found some leftover pork roast which I added . Made enough to serve four plus leftovers. now following you on Instagram.
So glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for the follow Ray! :)
I just wanted to say thank you. I have been tired of making the same thing every week for dinner. I see your recipes and they look wonderful, so I have been making new things. My family love it! I even dug out my old crock pot that hasn’t been used in years. I love the videos too, so I have an idea ahead of time what to do and how it should look. My husband always says I only make things from a box or can, but thanks to you, I’m showing him I can cook!
Hey Dawn, thanks for sharing your story. I’m so happy for you! It’s a great feeling making a meal that the whole family enjoys. :)
Crock pot recipes = Good.
Crock pot recipes in the SUMMER?!?!?! = amazing.
I would have never thought to break out the crock pot right now. What a wonderful idea :-D Pinning for later.
Thank you for Pinning Kelsey!
We love beans in our house. Love the addition of the pineapple. That created a sweet flavor totally naturally.
Thank you Peter! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I really do need a crockpot now! :-)
Love the tip for thicker beans, totally my jam — I cannot WAIT to try these ladycakes! <3
Ah yay! Hope you love them just as much as we do! <3
