I still need help to feed my family!

I had posted an earlier question about a fake tuna casserole recipe for my family dinner Sunday. My dad, who is 87 and finding nothing appeals to him, said he'd enjoy baked beans for dinner and he'd be happy with vegetarian beans. I've looked online and am trying to find a really good baked beans recipe, preferably for a slow cooker. Anyone have a particularly good recipe to suggest? Now I just have to decide what to serve with them!
I don't know anything about homemade baked beans but if you want to try one in the supermarket I thought that was pretty good. It has sugar in it I don't buy it anymore because of that otherwise oh yeah I would always buy it.
I can't remember what it's called exactly. The label is light green. And it's labeled vegetarian beans in tomato sauce I believe.
I've made homemade baked beans, I used a recipe that used meat, and simply didnt use meat. I would look for that. it turned out scrumptious, of course my mom helped me, she might have had something to do with the yummyness. good luck!
I have the best EVER recipe! But I have to email my mom for it so I'll post it as soon as she replies.
Do you like your baked beans sweet or smoky?
I think that the following homemade baked bean recipes look delicious, but I haven't tried any of these yet. (I admit to usually just doctoring up canned veg baked beans.):

Here's a crockpot recipe that I found:
