- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 2 cups dried navy beans (sub kidney beans if you wish)
- 1⁄3 cup unsulphured molasses
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne (or more if you choose)
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 3 drops liquid smoke (optional)
- 3 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos (or sub light soy or tamari)
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- pepper
- water
- 2 bay leaves
directions
- Night before: Soak the beans in plenty of water.
- When you're ready to get the crock pot going, drain the beans then add them to a large pot on the stove. Cover them with fresh water and bring to a boil, boil for 15 minutes and then drain.
- While the beans are boiling, mix together the molasses, sugar, mustard powder, cayenne, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke and braggs/tamari in a bowl.
- Turn your crock pot to low. Add in the par-boiled beans, the molasses mixture, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Add enough water to just cover the beans, stir again. Lastly, add in the bay leaves.
- Cook on low until beans are very soft, about 8 hours. Check periodically and add more water if need be - you don't want it to dry out, and all depending on your crock pot -- it could. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Enjoy with some crusty bread and a salad!

We really enjoyed this dish - the long cooking time tranformed the beans into a dark, rich, and wonderful meal. I didn't change a thing - and wouldn't next time, either! I put the onions in with the garlic, as the recipe didn't indicated when to add them, and that worked fine. Thanks for another winner, magpie! Made for Veggie Swap 22.

3 of 4 of us really enjoyed this; dh didn't like them at all. But he's fussy about baked beans. ;) Easy & yummy. I omitted the liquid smoke as I can't stand thye stuff. I really liked the bit of heat! Great for a cold, busy day which we've had many of this month! Made for 12/09 Vegan Swap. Thank you!
