  • Then, add the vegetable broth and stir until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Add the beans and stir for 1-2 minutes, until evenly coated.
  • Cover and bake for 40 minutes, until the beans are bubbling. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached.
  • Stir well and serve.
