How to Make Baked Beans Vegetarian Style
- Rinse 1 cup of small red beans.
- Place beans in a saucepan and cover with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
- Return to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, or until tender.
- Drain the beans, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid.
- If using, finely chop 1 medium onion.
- In a bowl, combine the reserved bean liquid, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Transfer the cooked beans to a slow cooker (crockpot).
- Add the chopped onion (if using) to the beans.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the beans. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-12 hours, or on high for 3-6 hours. (Note: Low and slow cooking develops the best flavor).
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
