Preparation & Use

Open the can and heat the beans on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, typically 8 to 10 minutes. For oven service, transfer to a baking dish and heat at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes. In a foodservice warmer, hold at 145°F or above per local health code guidelines. These beans can also be incorporated into recipes such as baked bean casseroles, bean soups, or barbecue baked bean dips. Once opened, refrigerate unused portions in a covered container and use within three to four days.

Serving Ideas

Pair with smoked brisket, grilled chicken, or pulled pork as a traditional barbecue side. Spoon over toast or rice for a quick vegetarian meal. Layer onto nachos or baked potatoes at a topping bar. Combine with sautéed onions and bell peppers for a flavored twist on standard baked beans. For breakfast service, serve alongside eggs, hash browns, and toast as a hearty morning plate.
