Partytime Beans
Gluten Free Living – 2025
Who doesn’t enjoy favorite old-timey potluck recipes to go with Hamburgers on the grill? Well I, for one, do! These Partytime Beans are delicious and perfect for Backyard Barbecues with friends. This recipe is very similar to my Calico Baked Beans recipe and my Hearty Cowboy Baked Beans recipe except it’s vegan. It’s still, “knock-your-socks-off” good! 🙂

Last August, I offered to make a meal for our neighbors. He had been in and out of the hospital most of the summer. I asked her what they liked to eat and she told me Rodger liked hamburgers. So I decided to make up a typical potluck meal with Hamburgers, a Nutty Apple Salad that was a fruity, fluffy-type salad and these Partytime Beans. I added some Peanut Butter Brownie Cups for dessert and some Luscious Lemon Muffins for breakfast. She texted me back raving over every part of the meal. I was happy to be of assistance and they enjoyed family favorites on the menu.
These Partytime Beans are really easy to make. Everything is dumped into the crockpot and cooked until done. It’s a great recipe to start out earlier in the day so the beans are ready by dinner time. Plus, you don’t have to fuss over them. If you want an easy side dish for when you’re grilling out with friends, this is it! And the leftovers heat up wonderfully too. Enjoy.
Partytime Beans is an easy and delicious Slow Cooker recipe.
This vegan Baked Beans recipe is terrific with hamburgers and Nutty Apple Salad.
Partytime Beans are also gluten free. I transferred the beans to a serving dish after slow cooking in the crockpot.
Here, I served Partytime Beans with Marinated New York Strip Steaks, Nutty Apple Salad and Cheesy Turnip Puff.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients, plus water.
Place chopped bell peppers and onions in the crockpot. Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground mustard, pepper and ketchup.
Stir to combine; add water and bayleaves.
Add rinsed and drained black beans, red kidney beans, lima beans, Great Northern Beans and black-eyed peas.
Stir ingredients to combine.
Cover and cook on low heat for 5-7 hours, until vegetables are tender.
Remove bay leaves.
Stir again and then serve.
You can serve in small bowls or straight on the plate.
Every bite of these Partytime Beans is scrumptious.
If you’re looking for lighter fare, without meat, this is a great Baked Beans recipe. I served it with Nutty Apple Salad, Cheese Turnip Puff and Marinated New York Strip Steaks.
Partytime Beans are also marvelous with good old-fashioned Hamburgers!
Here’s the recipe.
