Q: Can I freeze the leftovers? A: Yes, you can freeze any leftovers for future meals. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container and thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating.
Q: Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker? A: Absolutely! You can transfer the mixture to a slow cooker after step 4 and cook it on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until hot and bubbly.
Q: Can I add other ingredients like bacon or sausage? A: Of course! Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking by adding cooked bacon, sausage, or any other ingredients you enjoy in your baked beans. Just adjust the cooking time and seasoning accordingly.
