Can I make maple baked beans in a slow cooker?
Yes! Just add all the ingredients to the slow cooker with a little bit of water; combine the sauce, onions and bell peppers in a large bowl, then pour the mixture into the slow cooker for about 2 hours on low.
What can I substitute for maple syrup?
For the best flavor, use a high quality maple syrup; however, if you need a substitute for maple syrup, try using honey, table syrup (from a jar) or agave nectar.

Store maple baked beans in refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in 350ºF oven (covered) for 15 minutes or until they are heated thoroughly or microwave till heated thoroughly.
