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