The BEST BBQ Baked Beans

Every time we have a big family BBQ or gathering, my mother-in-law makes these delicious barbecue baked beans in the crockpot. They are always a hit! I have had BBQ baked beans many times before and these are hands-down my favorite. They are hearty, full of great flavor, and not to mention SUPER easy to prepare in the Crockpot. I will never make BBQ baked beans any other way!
