Slow-Cooker Baked Beans + More Healthy Summer Recipes

May 8 2018
Baked beans are a comfort-food classic and a summer-cookout staple. But most versions are full of added sugar, and the serving size is pretty puny. This recipe has way less of the sugary stuff and is bulked up with veggies & fruit... Plus, it’s made in a slow cooker! Tasty, easy, and crowd-pleasy. Perfect for BBQs and beyond!
