Schuncks Bacon Maple Baked Beans
What it is
These are tender navy beans simmered in a savory sauce. The sauce is a blend of tomato and molasses, with added sweetness from maple syrup and smoky notes from cured bacon. Pieces of bacon and finely diced onion are mixed throughout, adding texture and depth of flavor. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy a classic comfort food side dish.
How people cook with it

To prepare, simply heat the beans gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through. Avoid boiling, as this can make the beans mushy. For a richer flavor, you can transfer the heated beans to a small oven-safe dish and bake them for a short time until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened. This method allows the flavors to meld further and can create a delightful crust on top.
