- Check on the beans occasionally and add additional water if necessary.

- If your slow cooker has a warm setting, you can turn it to warm until you are ready to serve.
- I use the leftover baked beans to make "Beanie Wienies" for my kids.
- Just dice a few leftover hot dogs, add them to the leftover beans, and heat and you have a quick and easy lunch or dinner on a busy day.
