How to make slow cooker cowboy beans:

Let’s dive in a take a look at how easy it is to make some slow cooker cowboy beans!

This is by no means a difficult recipe to make. Crockpot cowboy beans are nice because the slow cooker does all the difficult work for you. There’s no need to spend very much time in the kitchen with this simple dinner recipe.

In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

Transfer to a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker that has been sprayed with non-stick spray or use a liner.  Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or until heated through.

Should I use a liner for my crockpot?

I love slow cooker liners. They make cleanup so very easy. If you don’t like using them, it’s totally fine to just spray the slow cooker, you might just have a little more work for cleanup.

If you want to be able to just pack up the leftovers and pull the liner out and be done with it, definitely grab some liners that will fit your crockpot.

I like both of these versions for slow cookers:
