Bush's Best Barbecue Baked Beans
What it is
These are tender navy beans slow-cooked in a savory barbecue sauce. The sauce is a blend of sweet and tangy flavors, with hints of smoke and spices. The beans themselves are soft and absorb the sauce well, making for a hearty side dish. This product comes in a convenient can, ready to be heated and served.
How people cook with it
Barbecue baked beans are a classic accompaniment to many meals. They are especially popular at cookouts and casual gatherings.
- Side dish for burgers

To prepare, you can heat the beans on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop heating, pour the contents into a saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. In the microwave, transfer the beans to a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. They are best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain baked beans, the barbecue variety offers a distinct sweet and smoky flavor profile from the added sauce. This sauce is typically thicker and more intensely seasoned than a simple tomato-based sauce found in some other canned bean preparations.
