Preparation:
This is a wonderful recipe that I got from a cookbook called Lean Luscious
and meatless. It takes a little bit of time to prepare but is well worth the
effort. It is the best baked beans I have ever had. You can substitute baby
limas for the navy beans. I have changed a few things from the original
recipe to suit my own taste so feel free to add any of your favorite
seasonings. Rinse and drain beans. Place in a large bowl with remaining
ingredients except tomato sauce. Mix well cover and place in the refigerator
for 24 hours. TO COOK: Transfer bean mixture to a large oven proof pot. Add
tomato sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and
simmer 45 min stirring occassionally. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place
pot in oven. bake 4 hours covered. Check beans every half hour or so adding
water and stirring as needed. When beans are done to your likeness remove
from oven and serve. |
