Everybody should try making their own baked beans at least once. Buy navy beans from a market ($7 AUD a kilo at mine), and follow this recipe. They're nicer, cheaper and healthier than the canned variety, plus you can edit whatever you like. I add chillies, onions, and nutritional yeast. Mine lasted at least 5 days in the fridge, they didn't get a chance to hang around longer.
I always hated baked beans until I made my own. Would definitely recommend and am seconding this
I so heartily agree with this. I usually make beans on Sunday for the week.
If people have the space and can acquire one, an electric pressure cooker is a game changer. You can cook beans from dry in one hour (+ pressurize and depressurize time). Dried beans are so cheap and store for a very long time. I buy 10 kg at a time for my two person family and store them in large tub. If I remember correctly chickpeas are the most expensive variety I buy and they are $25 CAD for 10 kg, so $2.50 a kg.
When I make baked beans I use a similar recipe, but it's tomato sauce, veg bullion, mustard powder, and maple syrup. Sometimes oregano.
If people haven't joined already, you can hang out with other bean fans at vegan home cooks <3
