To prepare, gently heat the beans on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in a microwave-safe dish, covering loosely and heating for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. For a richer flavor, you can bake them in a covered dish in a moderate oven for about 20-30 minutes. They are best served hot as a comforting side.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to simpler canned beans, these are distinguished by their complex sauce. The combination of brown sugar and bacon provides a sweet and smoky profile that is more developed than plain beans.
