Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They also taste great as leftovers!
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the baked beans in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Tip 3: These baked beans go wonderfully with grilled vegetables or corn on the cob for a classic barbecue spread.
  • Tip 4: Add some diced jalapeños or a splash of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick of heat.
  • Tip 5: Enhance the flavor by stirring in fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
