What Type Of Beans To Use

Use your preferred baked beans for this recipe. I used basic, generic baked beans. Keep in mind that the type of beans that you pick may alter the taste of the recipe. With that in mind, depending on the type you use, you may need to adjust the other ingredients. For example, if you use BBQ baked beans, you might omit the BBQ sauce.

FAQs & Tips
