how long to cook canned baked beans in oven
Canned baked beans can be cooked in the oven to enhance their flavor and texture. Here’s a general guideline for cooking canned baked beans in the oven:
Temperature: 250-275°F (120-135°C)
Time: 20-30 minutes
You can follow these steps:
- Preheat your oven to 250-275°F (120-135°C).
- Open the can of baked beans and pour them into a baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
- Add any desired seasonings or ingredients, such as brown sugar, bacon bits, or diced onions.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent drying out.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the beans are hot, bubbly, and slightly caramelized.
If you prefer a crisper top, you can remove the foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Note: You can also cook canned baked beans in the oven at a higher temperature (300-350°F or 150-175°C) for a shorter time (15-20 minutes), but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remember to always check the beans for temperature and texture before serving. They should be hot and slightly thickened. If you’re unsure, you can always cook them for a few more minutes.
