Bacon salt is apparently vegan, so you could try that.
When I'm feeling lazy and cooking just for myself, I usually end up adding a little bit of wine to canned beans, and calling it "soup". But, for dryer beans, you could drain and rinse and add a little bit of red wine and let it mostly cook off. It adds something to the beans without making them all weird.
But myself, I'm not a fussy eater, particularly, so it may not work.
