VEGAN BAKED BEANS A LA CROCK POT



Vegan Baked Beans a La Crock Pot image

At the time I'm posting this there are two other vegan baked bean recipes on the Zaar, both look really good. I didn't find one for the crock pot however, using dried beans and no tomatoes.....so hopefully this fits that bill for someone else out there! I found the recipe online - http://www.beanbible.com. There are only a few things I tweaked, one being Bakon yeast. Unfortunately not something I'm at all familiar with or have ever seen in the stores, but I found out a little more about it and replaced it with some nutritional yeast & liquid smoke. Adjust the heat as you wish. NOTE: Soak the beans ahead of time (night before). The cooking time doesn't reflect the overnight soaking of the beans, but it does reflect the crock pot cooking time if set to low. Hope you enjoy!

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • 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!

SLOW COOKER "YOU'LL NEVER MISS THE BACON" VEGETARIAN BOSTON BAKED BEANS



Slow Cooker

No bacon necessary! This meatless Boston baked bean recipe makes a tender, tasty, barbecue-worthy side that the vegetarians and the vegans at the party can enjoy along with everyone else. But the meat-eaters will love 'em, too!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 18h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried small white beans or navy beans
Water for soaking beans
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
1 medium green pepper (diced)
1 cup vegetable broth or water
1/2 cup molasses (I use Grandma's original)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
5-6 dashes Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak. Rinse the beans and sort through them, discarding any beans that look "off" or any foreign objects. Place beans in Crock Pot and cover with 3-4 inches of water. You can also add them to a pot or bowl; I just like to use my Crock Pot stoneware because in the end that's one less dish to clean. Cover and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Pour the soaked beans into a colander and rinse well. Rinse out the Crock Pot. Set soaked beans aside; you'll add them back to the Crock Pot in a minute.
  • Assemble. Add onion, pepper, broth, molasses, brown sugar, olive oil, dry mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to Crock Pot. Mix until combined. Add back your soaked and drained beans and stir until combined. Add bay leaf.
  • Cook. Cook on high for 8-10 hours or on low for 12-14 hours. Note: Slow Cookers can vary, so the first time you make this, you may want check on it periodically and see if you need more broth or water after the first few hours. But don't worry, your beans shouldn't turn to mush! The molasses helps to prevent that.
  • Leftover beans keep up to three days refrigerated in an airtight container. They also freeze well.

VEGETARIAN "BAKED" BEANS (CROCK POT)



Vegetarian

Based on Recipe #115501, 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.
