Friends, there are only a few days left of August, and I am SO SO SO ready for fall to officially arrive.

The weather is already cooling off here in Oklahoma, which has me all kinds of excited about a great warm, hearty recipe using the Crock-Pot slow cooker.

A fall favorite around this part of the world (and I’m sure yours, too) is slow-cooked baked beans made in the Crock-Pot. It’s not just baked beans, though. COWBOY BEANS with bacon and bacon drippings. Yes, bacon drippings!
