Aunt Linda's Vegetarian Baked Beans

This unique vegetarian bean recipes uses beer and apple juice to impart a warm, complex flavor. These beans are great as a side dish or as a topping for a veggie dog. Make these even healthier and leave out some of the molasses.

Notes

On a chilly day, serve with hot brown bread and steamed cabbage. In picnic weather, serve with tofu dogs and vegetable salad. Leftovers are great over toasted wheat bread.

  • 3/4 cup dry soybeans
