The Best Ever Cowboy Baked Beans

Nothing says fall and football season like a hearty recipe that you can make on the grill! Today I thought I’d share with you guys one of my favorite recipes…the BEST EVER Cowboy Baked Beans Recipe! The recipe is really easy to make and full of flavor. You can make it as a game day appetizer or side dish and it’s even better on the grill! We like to make these in a skillet on the grill for some added smoky flavor and taste (just like the cowboys did), but you can make in a regular pan in your oven too if desired.

How to Make Cowboy Baked Beans

Once your grill is started, you can get to work! I suggest using a cast iron skillet if you intend to make this recipe on the grill. You can place it directly on the grill and there’s so many other uses for a cast iron skillet with grilling recipes in your home!

cowboy baked beans recipe

For this recipe I start by browning my beef and baking my bacon and crumbling it up. While the beef and bacon are going, I work to combine my beans and other sauces.

skillet cowboy baked beans

Once everything is combined and your meat is cooked, throw it into your skillet and give it a good mix. Then put it directly onto your grill to cook.

grilled cowboy baked beans

If you don’t have a grill or it’s not “grilling weather” then you can place it directly into the oven too (although the grill gives it more flavor!). Cook until the beans are done and the whole thing is completely heated throughout (30 minutes typically).

Once done, be careful to use a hot pad to pull the skillet off the grill and serve warm!

What kind of beans are best for Cowboy Baked Beans?

The best part about Cowboy Beans are that they have a nice variety of beans in the recipe. We use white beans, kidney beans, and pork and beans. Go with a good brand of pork and beans, don’t buy a budget brand for this recipe.

If you want to mix things up, you can substitute other beans too like black beans, butter beans, etc.

Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans

Another option for this recipe is to make this in the slow cooker. Combine all the ingredients and cook on low for 4-5 hours. You could also make this recipe for cowboy beans with ground beef and bacon. I love bacon, but I don’t always put it in this recipe! It already has the pork from the pork and beans, so it’s not completely necessary.

How to Serve…

This would be great served with homemade cornbread or biscuits. You could also serve alongside something like homemade ribs.

This is such a great, hearty fall recipe and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do! These truly are the BEST EVER Cowboy Baked Beans made in true authentic cowboy fashion…over a fire! 🙂

My Recommendations for Cast Iron Skillets:

  • Back Country Cast Iron Skillet
  • Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
  • Cast Iron Skillet Cleaner

Best Ever Cowboy Baked Beans

Cowboy Beans are a great side dish or main course...it makes the perfect dish for potlucks, cookouts, camping trips, or parties. This delicious recipe is made with a variety of beans, ground beef, and delicious bacon. Cooked over a grill in a skillet adds even more flavor, but isn't required.

  • Here’s another memory from our recent trip to Maui, since I’m a warm weather girl at heart ☀️ We got matching mommy and me flower crowns, called Haku Lei, for a family photo shoot. @petite.maui  blew it out of the water with these gorgeous orchid-filled crowns, the smallest one for our littlest girl. So sweet 🌺 #hawaii #maui #flowercrown #tropicalvibes🌴 #mauivacation #princess #hawaiianlife #hawaiianprincess #familytravel #familytrip #familytime #minime #love #mommyandme #sisters #sisterlove #tropical #tropicalescape #tropicalvacation #travel #lifestyle #travelgram
  • We just returned from Maui and I’m already ready to go back. Between the sunshine, crystal clear water, and amazing food, it is truly paradise on earth. We stayed very low-key and played at the beach most of the time,  but did discover some very cool spots to explore, even with kids! More to come soon on the website. #travelwithkids #maui #bestbeaches #napilibay #westmaui #familieswhotravel #travelingwithtoddlers #hawaiivacation #babybeach #whalewatching #wanderlust #bucketlist #familytime #mauilife #familyadventures #thecardswedrew #travel #lifestyle #travelgram #travelblogger #traveltheworld
