Ever wonder why Boston baked beans are called “Boston” baked beans? It’s the molasses. Boston has been tied to molasses since colonial days, when the city was a trade center for rum from the Caribbean. Molasses is used for rum production and is a by-product of sugar refining and was easily available to the colonists. And then there’s the Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919, when a huge tank of molasses exploded and sent a sea of the gooey stuff flooding the streets of the North End. I lived in the North End of Boston in the early 80s and at the time you could still pick up a faint scent of molasses on a hot summer day.
Now to the baked beans. Boston baked beans are by definition, slowly cooked. According to Shirley Corriher in CookWise (great book, btw), either sugar or calcium will make beans hard, even after long hours of cooking. Molasses contains both sugar and calcium, which is why adding molasses to a pot of beans will enable you to cook the beans for what seems like forever, without the beans getting mushy. But it also means that if you cook the beans in molasses to get that wonderful flavor, you have to cook them a good long time.
Although traditionally cooked in an oven, Boston baked beans lend themselves perfectly to slow cookers, which is the method we prefer here.


We’ve received A LOT of requests for more one pot meal recipes lately. With time being a limiting factor for most of our readers, we understand that throwing everything together is really the way to go. Less thinking = more resting. We get it!
Both Springer and I are huge fans of warm bowls of goodness. From soups to stews, we love when we can make a big batch for the entire fam and serve it up throughout the week, but…is there a SECRET to creating balanced flavor, texture, and nutrients for our “one pots”? You bet!

Here’s Some History on the “Slow Cooker”
A slow cooker (aka – Crock-Pot) is an electrical, counter top cooking appliance that is used for simmering foods at a low temperature for a long period of time. Invented in the 1970’s, during a time when convenience foods were also a hit, many recipes called for the addition of canned broths, veggies, or soups, and sodium-filled seasoning packets to extend flavor and substance.
Although you can make one pot meals without the handy slow cooker gadget, I do like to pull out the ol’ college gift from my mom every once in awhile.
PROS
You set it and forget it.
Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat (usually leaner too) come out tender and moist.
The pot itself is quite affordable (~$35 – $100)

CONS
Overcooking veggies due to the long simmer, kills lots of nutrients (but we have a fix for that…below)
Our Secret: Building Layers
Given our philosophy here at Eat Life Whole, we won’t be putting anything processed in our “one pot.” Also, to give texture and retain more nutrients, we’re going to use a layering trick to cook the starchy, harder vegetables towards the bottom of the pot and the leafy ones towards the top. Here’s what you’ll need:

rock pots are making a comeback, and for good reason. Slow-cooked dishes are ideal for making ahead and reheating, and leftovers can be enjoyed for several days. And, a slow cooker provides advantages for healthy cooking by stretching small amounts of meat with flavorful sauces and a generous portion of vegetables. While you might use your slow cooker more often in the winter, you can keep your kitchen cool by using your slow cooker in the summer too. Dust off your slow cooker and try a few of these easy, healthy crock pot recipes.
