Ingredients

  • 1 lb. dry Great Northern beans

  • Water sufficient to cover the beans

  • 1 Tbsp. baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1 cup molasses

  • 1 tsp. dry mustard

  • 1 tsp. vegan Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable broth powder

  • 1/4 lb. faux ham, roughly chopped (try Yves brand)

  • 1 large white onion, diced

Directions

  • Place the beans in a large kettle. Cover with the water and sprinkle with the baking soda. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until just tender. Drain, reserving the liquid.
  • Combine the salt, molasses, dry mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable broth powder.
  • Place 1/3 of the beans in a slow cooker and add a small amount of the reserved liquid. Layer with 1/3 of the molasses mixture, 1/3 of the faux ham, and 1/3 of the onion.
  • Repeat in the same order until the remaining beans, molasses mixture, faux ham, and onion have been used, adding a small amount of the reserved liquid with each layer.
  • Cover with the remaining reserved liquid, adding water if needed.
  • Cook on low heat for 9 to 11 hours, or until the beans are tender.
