Vegetarian Barbecue Baked Beans

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1 T. Vegetable Oil.
1 medium yellow onion, chopped.
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 (15-oz) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c. your favorite tangy barbecue sauce
2 tsp. red wine or cider vinegar
2 T. molasses

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Heat a small, heavy, oven-proof pot with a lid over medium high heat. Add the oil, onion and mustard powder, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent (about 6 minutes)

3. Add the beans, barbecue sauce, vinegar and molasses, plus 1/2 cup water, and stir gently to combine.

4. Cover and bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Notes:

I like to use combinations of BBQ sauce to see what sorts of flavors the beans can have. Also, these beans are almost always better the next day.
