For some people, canned baked beans are already great as they are. However, if you want to take them to the next level and get a really satisfying dish, here is how you can improve them.
Top Baked Beans with Bacon
Bacon can make many dishes better, and canned baked beans are one of them. Simply chop some bacon bits and sprinkle them on top before placing them in the oven. If you heat them on a stove, then fry the bacon bits in a skillet beforehand and add baked beans to them later.
Mix in Some Condiments
Almost all of your favorite condiments will add a bit more flavor to canned baked beans and make them better. Dijon mustard is the internet’s favorite, especially when paired with honey for a honey mustard effect. But a tablespoon of ketchup or BBQ sauce will work as a charm as well.
Make Them Spicy
If you like spicy food, there is no reason not to make spicy baked beans. Drizzle some Sriracha, Tabasco, or any other hot sauce that you have in the fridge. And if you have some spicy sausage lying around, even better.
Combine Them With Cheese
Baked beans and cheese are an awesome combination that you need to try right away if you haven’t already. Simply top baked beans with grated cheddar before popping them in the oven if you want a cheesy crust, or simply mix it in after they are done for a gooey effect.
