Amazing recipe for wfpb swaps and no ketchup!! I did add some Serrano and a half and orange pepper but otherwise stayed true to recipe. Zingy and flavorful! Thanks for the morale booster of making it from scratch and so delicious!

Delicious and easy. Hearty and filling. Doesn't get much better than that!

We reduced the maple syrup and left out the oil. So good! Reminded me of Wisconsin picnics as a child. Added gardien plant based beef for added protein and to make it a meal.

In reply to Brian. Hi Brian, I'm so happy you loved the recipe. It sounds so good with the vegan sausage. Next time, you can try adding 1/2 cup more broth. It should work fine, but if it seems thin, just cook it a little longer to thicken. I hope this helps. :)

I made these baked beans last night & they came out beautifully. I followed your recipe almost verbatim except I only had one can of navy beans, & the only other beans I had on hand were tri-colored (kidney, pinto, & black). The texture, taste, spice, & tanginess were all on point. I added in some field roast sausage for an extra meatiness but otherwise is was stunningly delicious.My only issue (not a real issue) was it came out a tad thicker than I would have preferred, probably due to adding the two sausages, what could I add to thin it out a bit without compromising the dish?

In reply to Heather.

Tried these for the first time on Christmas with my sister and her daughter, both are great cooks. They were a hit. My sister asked for the recipe. I had to make a few substitutions. No black strap molasses but I had regular do I used that. I omitted cumin because I just don’t like it. I appreciate your flexibility with the substitutions, that was awesome to see. I don’t eat red meat but aspire to be vegan. I’m subscribing! Thank you.
