Baked Beans

Baked beans are a staple at our family get-togethers. There is just something comforting about them. From smelling them cooking to eating them, baked beans are comfort food! This recipe is great because it uses dried beans, and you don’t have to soak them overnight.

I’m sure you have a tried and true recipe for baked beans. It might be one that’s been passed down through your family over many years. Maybe you found a new one (like this one!) to try on the internet. I’ve found that baked beans are served in many different ways throughout the world.

Did you know that there is a baked bean sandwich? Now that’s just taking things too far! Eh, who knows? It might be good. They do say most people eat it with melted cheese, and everything is good with cheese. Another odd one is Porotos con riendas which is a typical Chilean dish made of boiled beans with spaghetti, chorizo, diced pumpkin, chili, and onions. I’m not sure I’d technically consider that a baked beans dish, but I guess it’s a cultural thing.
