This was easy to make, even though it took a while! I took a short cut and cooked this on the stove, as I always have when making baked beans. I love this vegetarian version! - 19 May 2013
I loved the taste of these!! I soaked the beans in water over night and the next day I threw all the ingredients into a slow cooker and let it go all day long. It turned out awesome! I will definitely make these again. - 26 Nov 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I like it that there is no cured meat in this bean dish, and I thought it was okay. I wasn't sure about the cinnamon flavor with the beans and tomato sauce. I think I will try it again without it next time. Thanks for posting this recipe. - 23 Aug 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
