    These bourbon mango baked beans are perfect for a barbecue or cookout - and they're so easy to make in the slow cooker!

    I was really happy with the way my Bourbon Mango Pulled Summer Squash Sandwiches turned out, particularly the sauce. As soon as we were finished eating, I started thinking about other things I could do with it.

    One of the ideas I had was to make baked beans. So I began thinking of interesting spins on my favorite vegan baked beans recipe.

    It took a little bit of work (and even some math—gasp!) to figure out how to make this recipe turn out right, but I think I succeeded—these are traditional baked beans with a twist!

    This recipe for Bourbon Mango Slow Cooker Baked Beans is perfect for a summer barbecue or potluck—trust me, it makes enough to feed a small army. Use leftovers to make baked bean sandwiches or Vegetarian Shipwreck Casserole.

      Oh, I adore mango. But I never would've thought to combine it with beans. What a great idea. I don't have a slowcooker, but this seems perfect for my Dutch oven, as I'm home most of the time these days... Thank you som much for posting this!

      Those look good and it is always good to have a different type bean dish to fix. We love beans at our house.

      I only just recently got a slow cooker, so I am definitely saving this recipe. Thanks for linking this up to my blog hop!

      Made today - halved the recipe and it came out great! My slow cooker recently bit the dust so I just used my dutch oven thru the whole process along with a simmer plate to keep the temp. low and steady. I also lined a clean kitchen towel under the lid to create a better seal and prevent condesation from dripping back into the beans. They were pretty watery until the very end (after 5.5 hrs on slow cook) and then it all came together perfect and thickened up like the picture. Since I didn't have chipotle powder on hand I used the sauce from a can of chipotle peppers. You definitely have to use much more of the sauce (double/triple) to reach the strength of the powdered seasoning. Very delicious! My friends were very impressed by truly homemade baked beans.

        Thanks for the feedback! Homemade baked beans are so much better than canned, aren't they? When I developed this recipe, I had a whole bottle of chipotle powder to use up, but I was planning on using the chipotles in adobo when I make it again. Good to know how much I need to put it! 🙂

      I wonder how this would taste using persimmons rather than mango?

      This sounds delicious. Do you know if it would work in an InstantPot? I'm new to using mine so not sure where to start!
      Thank you.
