Nani’s Vegetarian Baked Beans

Baked Beans
Baked Beans
This is a favorite recipe of mine for home made baked beans. These are the real thing, made from scratch. They are surprisingly easy. It just takes a little pre-planning. I like to get them in the crockpot the night before. They can cook all night and day and be ready for an afternoon picnic.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dry navy beans (or your favorite combination of beans)
  • 9 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup Catsup or BBQ Sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons dark molasses
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Dash of liquid smoke
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • Dash crushed red peppers

Directions

Bring the 9 cups of water and the beans to a boil, simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans and put in crockpot with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 12 to 20 hours. Time will vary with each individual crockpot.
