So I love salads…however I am also so a hot meal person! So I try different combinations for a “warm salad” or at least something on it. Here is a nice twist on my vegan taco salad…bbq baked beans! Homemade of course!
Vegan BBQ Baked Beans
1 can each of garbonzo beans, black beans and kidney beans
1 onion chopped
1 can tomato paste (6oz)
1/3 cup molassas
1/3 cup of maple syrup (plus to taste, I dont like things too sweet)
1 tbsp chili powder
3 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp onion powder and garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste
2/3 cup water
Combine beans and onion together in crockpot. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl first then add to the beans and onions. Cook for 6 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high. We topped my wonderful taco salad with this mix instead of meat. Enjoy!
