Savory Vegetarian Baked Beans
- 1 1/4 cup dried beans (I used Great Northern Beans)
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 large carrot
- 1 large stalk celery
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup organic ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fermented soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Sort beans. Rinse. Place in pot and cover with 1 quart water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 1 hour.
Chop onion, carrots, and celery. Mince garlic.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Pour the beans (with the soaking water) into the casserole dish.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Stir well.
Place in the 300 degree F (150 degree C) oven.
Bake for 3 hours.
Remove lid and stir.
Continue baking until beans are tender (it took 4 1/2 hours for mine, but that time will vary depending on the age of your beans).

I was out of garlic and used 1 teaspoon garlic powder. I think some beef bacon would have been good in them as well.
You’ll need a 2 quart pot with lid and a 2 quart casserole dish.
Yield: 4 cups of beans. Very high in dietary fiber and vitamin A; high in manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium; very low in saturated fat; no cholesterol.
