A few weeks ago, we had our County 4-H Fair! I always like to plan ahead on some meals for our family to have during the week. So when I was thinking of some sides to make for the week, these Cowboy Beans came to mind. They are quick to throw together, they feed a crowd, and the leftovers freeze well for later. On busy show days, it's nice to have some food prepared and ready for the lunch break. These beans and some grilled hot dogs were perfect!

Since the freeze up well, the left overs I froze and saved for the following weekend when we headed to the lake and stayed in a cabin with family. We enjoyed the beans there as well.

These Cowboy Beans will be great for fall tailgate parties and meals in the field during harvest as well! I love using my Indianapolis Colts Crock Pot and it will be perfect this! This recipe makes a ton of beans so it's perfect for serving a crowd.
