Ingredients
Canned Baked Beans (3 cans, 15 oz each, drained)
Soy-based Meat Alternative (1/2 lb, diced)
Brown Sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
Apple Cider Juice (2 tsp, substituted for cider vinegar)
Onion (1 medium, diced)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Black Pepper (1 tsp, freshly ground)
Plant-Based Worcestershire Sauce (1 tbsp)
Ketchup (1 tbsp)
Bay Leaf (1)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a skillet, cook soy-based meat alternative until browned. Add drained beans, soy meat, onion, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider juice, pepper, Worcestershire, ketchup, and bay leaf to a casserole dish. Mix well. Cover and bake for 2.5 hours. Uncover, stir gently, and bake 30–45 minutes longer until bubbly and slightly crisped on top.
Notes
Use low-sodium canned beans if available. For a gluten-free option, verify Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free. The base can be made vegan by using plant-based ketchup and omitting optional seasonings.
