  Baked BBQ Tofu
1 16-oz. package firm water-packed tofu, frozen and thawed
2 c. favorite barbecue sauce
1 med. onion, sliced into rings
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder

1. Tofu should have been frozen at least overnight and thawed. Gently squeeze between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu lengthwise into 6 - 7 slices.
2. Pour barbecue sauce into a 8-inch glass baking pan, reserving some for the top. Place the tofu slices in one layer in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with onion powder and garlic powder. Place onions on top and spoon the
remaining barbecue sauce over it.
3. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes, turning if desired. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 - 10 minutes.

Serve warm on a whole wheat bun.

  Barbecue Baked Beans
3 15-oz. cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 c. favorite barbecue sauce

Mix beans and barbecue sauce, reserving a little. Pour into an 8-inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. If beans begin to dry out, spoon some of the reserved sauce over the top.
