store baked beans in the fridge<\/a> for three to five days. To preserve the taste and shelf life of the dish, make it a priority to refrigerate them within an hour after they have cooled down.<\/p>\nCan you make barbecue baked beans ahead of time?<\/h3>\n You have the option to make ahead and freeze this barbecue baked bean recipe (after baking), or to make ahead and refrigerate (before baking). If preparing to freeze, allow the baked beans to cool fully, then portion into freezer-safe containers, leaving room for expansion. Thaw fully before reheating. As you reheat, simmer on low to prevent splitting. If refrigerating, follow the recipe up until baking. Refrigerate for up to three days, then let the beans reach room temperature before baking.<\/p>\n
Barbecue Baked Bean Tips<\/h2>\n ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHow can I make my beans more flavorful?<\/h3>\n If you like spice, you can easily up the heat factor by adding crushed red pepper flakes. If you want to reduce the sweetness, you can also add a more intensely flavored mustard, like a spicy deli-style or Dijon. Consider what you\u2019re serving the beans with and adjust seasonings to complement the main dish.<\/p>\n
What is the secret to soft baked beans?<\/h3>\n Proper soaking is key. You can also try adding 1\/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water. This creates an alkaline environment, which results in softer beans, due to lower levels of pectin.<\/p>\n
How can I add flavor to beans without meat?<\/h3>\n Try making a mushroom broth. Mushrooms are a popular mainstay in vegetarian dishes, prized for their meaty flavor. After the broth is made, you can even reserve the mushrooms, chop them up and add them to the barbecue baked bean mixture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I did omit the ground beef as I didn't have it on hand! I'm rating this dish as a 4 at this time!

I didn't love this dish at first and almost put it on my list of \"not to try again\", but then looked over to see my 5 year old DEVOURING them and he then begged for seconds - which NEVER happens with ANY dish, much less a side!
