Recipe View 3 hrs 30 mins Slow Cook to Perfection (3-4 hours): Stir all ingredients in the slow cooker to ensure they are well combined. Cover and cook on Low heat for at least 3 hours, or until the beans are thickened and the flavors have melded together beautifully. For an even richer flavor, cook for up to 4 hours.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the slow cooker.
If you prefer a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon instead of regular bacon.
To thicken the beans further, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
These cowboy beans are delicious served with cornbread, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
