Easy Baked Beans (in the crock pot)

My son and his buddies ate these like they were going out of style after a long day of water skiing, tubing and wake boarding on their first day of summer vacation. I thought I would share this recipe in the hope that your family will like it too. These beans can cook all day while you play.
They pair well with a menu of grilled burgers or brats simmered in beer, some raw veggies and a cold lager or a chilled sangria.

Serves 12-14 as a side dish.
