The Fake Baked Beans are cooked on the stove top so bypass the hours of baking in a hot oven. I, of course, left out the bacon (so it's vegan!) and instead substituted a few drops of liquid smoke. Yum, total comfort in a bowl. These were so good that we had them for dinner with just some potatoes on the side. They also make a great filling for tortillas--a tasty lunch.
Smokey Hickory Fake Bacon is a really clever recipe that uses pretty basic ingredients. If you're a vegan and you miss bacon, this is the perfect substitute. The recipe calls for thinly sliced tofu fried until it's crispy. I'm not a huge fan of crispy tofu, so I cut the tofu a little thicker, baked it, and made sandwiches. The marinade gives the tofu such awesome flavor--totally delicious.

Those beans sound delicious! It would be interesting to try the fake bacon. I almost never cook bacon because I can't stand how the house smells!
