Let the baked beans rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld further. Serve hot and enjoy!
For a deeper smoky flavor, consider adding a 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the bean mixture.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, increase the brown sugar to 5 tablespoons. For a tangier flavor, add an extra teaspoon of mustard.
For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use vegetarian baked beans. You can add a dash of liquid smoke to mimic the smoky flavor.
These baked beans can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.
Leftover baked beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
