Looking for an easy baked beans recipe that’s not only delicious but is gluten-free too! I’ve taken a family recipe that has been a favorite for years and tweaked it just a bit to make sure it’s gluten-free. The combination of five simple ingredients including brown sugar and smoked sausage creates such rich flavors. You and your family will love it.
If you don’t have to eat gluten-free you can easily swap any of the ingredients for those with gluten if you want. But you won’t miss it at all if you keep it the way it is!

How to make this Easy Baked Beans Recipe:
It only takes five ingredients to make this tasty dish. The three ingredients that you need to make sure are gluten-free are the beans, smoked sausage, and the ketchup.
I love that Randall’s Great Northern Beans are gluten-free since that’s the brand my mom used when I was little. When you switch to eating gluten-free it’s nice not to have to change everything!
So let’s get started. Preheat oven to 350°
Set a strainer in the sink and pour the beans into the strainer and let them drain while preparing the other ingredients.
Cut the smoked sausage into shorter pieces and then slice into quarters lengthwise and then slice into 1/2-inch slices. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the onion and add to the bowl.
Add the drained beans, ketchup and brown sugar to the bowl and mix all together.
Place mixture into a 2 or 3-quart baking dish and cover. If your baking dish doesn’t have a lid then cover it with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
Crockpot instructions for baked beans: Place in crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
