Vegetarian "baked" Beans (Crock Pot)

Based on Slow Cooked "baked" Beans, Slow Cooked "baked" Beans by Grease. I changed the recipe to make it vegetarian and to accommodate my very large crock pot. This recipe should be able to be halved pretty easily. Cooking time will vary according to how long you have soaked the beans, what size crock pot you have and the kind. Different ones seem to cook at different temps. This recipe is on the sweet side, so adjust for your own taste. Would taste great with veggie hot dogs.

• Serves: 6-10

Ingredients

• 2  lbs dried navy beans

• 1⁄2 tablespoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Soak navy beans overnight- the longer the better. I usually soak them for about 12 hours.
2. Drain beans and rinse off. Put into crock pot along with the rest of the ingredients.
3. Cover crock pot and cook 7-8 hours on high or 10-13 hours on low. These cook times are approximate. Cook until the beans are finished. Add water to crock pot if needed.
4. Enjoy!
