I've only had baked beans a couple of times, and I'm pretty sure they were canned. But I wanted to give this healthy version a try. And let me tell you, you will not regret trying this! The only change I made was to use dijon mustard and turkey bacon because that is what I had on hand.DELICIOUS! - 1/28/10

Yes you need the full amount of water. canned beans are already cooked and have absorbed the water. Now for my taste I like a bit more ketshup and a tbl. of liquid smoke.
NIce recipe.Also for canned beans you need more moisture to prevent schorching in a crock pot. Otherwise bake them. Chef Jim - 11/2/09

tastes very good -
but something does not add up - the total of the ingredients is way over 4 cups (3 cups water alone !!!) - so it can't possibly be 8 x 1/2 cup servings - it made over 8 cups when I made it - 11/27/09

The pound of beans is 16 oz (2 cups). When the water is added and they have cooked, they'll double in volume (4 cups). Divide that in half for half-cup servings=eight 1/2 cup servings.

When I first learned to make baked beans, I used a BEAN POT - much like a crock pot only you use it in an oven. I loved home made beans and adapted to my own liking, but way too high in calories. Will try this one for a healthier version.
And NO, I can't eat just 1/2 cup unless its as a side dish - 11/11/09

Wow, I am thrilled to find this easy, delicious, healthy recipe. I was born & raised in Boston, and never tried to make Boston Baked Beans before and now it'll be a regular dish! Plus, it gets better the 2nd and 3rd day, and with just a little re-warming makes a wonderful dip for raw veggies. - 4/11/10

All I have to say is that I have followed this recipe TO THE LETTER and after 10 hrs on low, my beans were still crunchy. I put them in the fridge overnight, and now I am on day 2, 4 hrs later (now 14 hrs cooking) and they are still slightly crunchy. Cook on HIGH ladies! flavor is nice though! - 7/12/10

No molasses, so I use dark brown sugar. I also use low sodium tomato sauce or paste (depending on what I have)rather than ketchup; add a dash of Worcestershire and garlic. Have used canned beans (drained and rinsed THOROUGHLY), only a little water added, when pressed for time, almost as good. - 1/21/10

great flavor, not too sweet so hubby loved them. needs long soaking time. I tried boiling water soaking for 1 hr, came out too hard even with overnight cooking! next time either overnight soak as recommended or cook on high with more water in pot. I'll experiment. Maybe beans were too old! - 1/26/10

It seems like a lot of water with moisture from all the various ingredients. Wouldn't it be soupy? Could the water be cut by a third or half? When in a hurry, I drain the canned beans real good, add my onions and bacon, a small bottle of BBQ sauce for 6 cans of beans and it still has extra juice. - 11/2/09

I'm making these right now and my slow cooker is filled ... to the brim. I think it's about a 3-quart cooker. When I cook chili in it, it makes five servings of about 2 cups each. That would be twenty servings of a half cup each. I'm thinking the nutritional values on this recipe are wrong - 2/21/10

Oh this looks yummy and simple. I cook my beans in the crock pot all the time. I don't bother presoaking though, just turn on the crock pot on low and cook for about 4-8 hours, depending on the bean. I'll try presoaking! Seems like a great way to conserve energy. I plan on trying this recipe TODAY! - 11/2/09

Great recipe, much better than I expected. I added a tad extra molasses, splenda brown sugar and regular mustard instead of brown. The beans soaked overnight and I cooked the beans in the crock pot for 3 extra hours to get the consitency right and the water soaked in. Hubby and I both loved them. - 1/12/11

I make these regularly during the winter months. For those that think the water is to much, you need a lot of moisture. When I make mine I soak the beans all dy and bake them through the night. I usually check them at midpoint abd they require more water. They soak up all of it by serving time. - 7/8/10
