This recipe came from a cookbook called Fresh Vegetarian Slow Cooker , which I highly recommend. So nice to have tasty baked beans without pork! ( I think I doubled this recipe from the original..not sure....I do that. :-) )This is a very slow recipe...but worth the wait!
2-3 lbs of dry white or pinto beans
2-3 large onions, chopped small
4-6 garlic cloves
4 bay leaves
2-3 lbs of dry white or pinto beans
2-3 large onions, chopped small
4-6 garlic cloves
4 bay leaves
- Presoak your beans over night in water - 6 hours + (I usually double my water over my beans.)**
- Drain soaked beans and put them back in the crock. Add the above ingredients ans enough water to cover (about 1" over). Cook on High 8-12 hours
- Drain this water, remove bay leaf and put back in the crock. Add the following ingredients:
1C (real!) Maple Syrup
2tsp dr. mustard powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2C tomato paste mixed with 2 1/2C water
- Cook on low an additional 6-8 hours.
** If you forget to soak your beans (or don't want to take that extra time) you can put beans on the stove in water and boil them for 2 minutes, than cover and remove from the heat and let sit for an hour. Then proceed with the recipe.

SO trying this one! Ive been looking for a good baked bean recipe as my 3 year old LOVES baked beans. Aussie baked beans dont contain any pork products or flavours but they do have other artificial colours in them and we are trying to steer clear of anything artificial. I honestly hadnt thought of using the slow cooker! LUV DONNA
