If you are looking for a cheap and easy side dish to throw together last minute, look no further than this vegan stove top baked beans. This is such a delicious side for backyard BBQs or for a quick weeknight dish with corn on the cob and all that summer squash in the garden. You choose, but you won’t be disappointed.
Canned beans can definitely be used, but I typically make a big batch of pinto beans in my instant pot to keep in the freezer. It’s healthier, and you control the sodium. So do what suits you best, but whatever you choose won’t change the flavor.
