Notes
- Add heat – For those who love heat, add diced jalapeños, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce to these easy baked beans. Extra seasoning – Feel free to adjust the amount of seasonings and other ingredients based on your personal taste. Add herbs - add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro right before serving. Swap the beans – do test this with different canned beans such as black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans. Vary the meat – smoked chicken or sausages will work too. Add veggies – add in some finely diced quick cook veggies like bell peppers or celery. Use a great can opener to easily and smoothly open canned food if needed.
