Easy Vegetarian Baked Beans

Sweet and tangy, I love baked beans! I know they're not for everyone -- in fact, my kids are not fans, but I think they are absolutely wonderful. 

Homemade baked beans are so easy that there's no reason to open a can of vegetarian baked beans if you need a hearty addition to your Labor Day barbecue. They are a great dish to bring if you are vegan or gluten-free, too, because when you bring vegetarian baked beans to a potluck, you know that you will have a dish that is not only delicious, but also filling and protein-packed. You won't have to stick to chips!
