'My baked beans never tasted better since adding 1 simple ingredient - and it's a total game-changer'
Baked beans, a British kitchen staple, have become the centre of a lively Reddit debate on whether seasoning enhances this classic meal. One Reddit user raised the question, "Do most British people season their baked beans?". This prompted over 3,000 comments as Brits shared their tips for sprucing up beans. The individual who started the conversation added: "According to my boyfriend, you're only supposed to take them out of the tin into a bowl and microwave them, or to put them in a pot on the stove for like three minutes. The only allowed flavour is the tomato sauce they come with."

A bean enthusiast on Reddit penned: "Try a bit of smoked paprika on baked beans. You're welcome." Another chimed in: "Smoked paprika adds some smokiness that you would normally get with bacon," as noted by the Express. Another also heralded the praises of smoked paprika: "Smoked paprika is a game-changer. It goes well with the flavours of baked beans." Intrigued by these suggestions, Senior Lifestyle reporter Angela Patrone decided it was time to test the popular advice and break out the smoked paprika from her kitchen cupboard. Angela shared her culinary experiment by stating: "Smoked paprika is one of those seasonings I love to add to my chicken or when I'm making homemade chips, but I never thought to add it to baked beans." She detailed her process: "I started by adding the spice to the beans in a bowl. While it wasn't mentioned how much smoked paprika to use, I opted for one teaspoon." Angela explained her time-saving method: "I usually heat my baked beans in a saucepan, however, I was short on time this day, so I used the microwave instead. I left the beans in the microwave for one minute before stirring them and putting them in for another minute." Upon tasting the modification, Angela enthused: "Opening the microwave after the second minute was up, I could smell the delicious smoky scent. I served the beans on a slice of toasted sourdough bread." She concluded with approval: "The seasoning offered a fantastic depth of flavour to the semi-sweet baked beans. I would say a teaspoon is just the right amount, as any more would probably overpower the baked beans."

I Asked 5 Experts To Name the Best Canned Baked Beans—They All Said the Same Thing
Few things scream 'spring!' like a barbecue. My ideal Sunday BBQ includes getting the whole family together in the park, handing out paper plates full of ribs, corn, slaw, and (of course) baked beans, so we can revel in togetherness as we gobble down bites of deliciousness. My family does these picnic adventures potluck style, with each of us claiming a main or a side. The side I always avoid? Baked beans. Why? I've little experience in making them and, honestly, they're one of my favorites, so I just don't want to mess them up! Recently, I chatted with some trusted culinary experts, and it turns out that bringing baked beans to the barbecue is simpler than I thought. All it requires is buying the right can of beans. And there's a single brand that all four of the experts prefer. Jessica Formicola: Emmy-nominated food judge, recipe developer, founder of Savory Experiments and author of Beef It Up! Toby Amidor: Registered dietitian and author of 10 cookbooks, including The Healthy Meal Prep Cookbook and Up Your Veggies Ken Tobby: Food expert, researcher, and CEO of Organic Solace Melinda Keckler: Founder and recipe developer at the Crinkled Cookbook 'The answer is easy!' Keckler exclaims. 'I always choose Bush's Best Baked Beans. The brand is consistent. The beans are creamy and tender, not chalky and hard, and each can is packed with actual beans, not just sauce or syrup.' The sauce that is there, she adds, is thick enough, not too sweet, and unlike other brands, not loaded down with tomatoes or molasses. 'These beans have the best balance of texture and flavor with a rich, slow-cooked taste and a viscous, savory-sweet sauce that is not too overpowering,' Tobby agrees. She also praises Bush's for its 'short, identifiable list' containing 'natural seasonings, such as brown sugar, and spices rather than artificial additives.' Formicola, whose non-negotiables are 'BPA-free cans and no preservatives,' seconds Tobby. Amidor loves that Bush's helps cater to dietary restrictions. 'For those looking to cut back on added sugar, Bush's makes Zero Sugar Added Baked Beans, which provide the full flavor of their Original option without the added sugar,' she notes. When it comes to eating the beans, the experts indulge in Bush's in a variety of ways. As Formicola says, 'Bush's beans are awesome because you can literally eat them right out of the can, and they will taste pretty great, but they are also the perfect base for a little doctoring.' As Amidor sums it up, 'Whether it's their Original, Brown Sugar Hickory, or any other flavor, Bush's versatility, quick preparation, and rich flavor make them the perfect complement to a variety of dishes and occasions.'

The Last of Us mushroom coffee? Kevin Costner baked beans? TV merch to melt your mind
First the bad news: this week the United States Food and Drug Administration recalled 4,515 cases of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans after discovering that it did not disclose the presence of soy, an allergen that can have severe to fatal effects on sensitive consumers, in its ingredients. Shoppers from 23 US states are being urged to return their beans in exchange for a full refund. But the good news is, you can get Yellowstone baked beans. How amazing is that? If you're someone who enjoys watching Taylor Sheridan's soapy western drama about the Dutton family enough to want to literally base all your meal times around it then, provided you don't have a soy allergy, this is absolutely your lucky day. And the joy doesn't stop there, because there's also an entire website dedicated to selling various official Yellowstone food products. As well as the beans ('Savor the taste of Yellowstone Baked Beans, where tradition meets bold flavor'), the site allows you to buy official Yellowstone coffee ('Start your day the Dutton way'), official Yellowstone BBQ sauce ('Cook with confidence and grit') official tinned Yellowstone stews ('a wholesome, filling meal that's both delicious and effortless'), official Yellowstone Mac and Cheese ('a flavor filled adventure') and various official Yellowstone meat snacks ('the ultimate, on-the-go cowboy treat'). Now, does any of this sound in any way appealing? No, not at all. Does it seem to be designed exclusively to cater to anyone except swivel-eyed doomsday preppers who enjoy stockpiling nonperishable goods in hastily erected corrugated iron bunkers? No, not at all. But is it generally a good thing that Yellowstone inspires enough fervour in its audience that it can justify manufacturing its own entire line of officially branded meat snacks? Absolutely. Not every show can afford this luxury. It's hard to imagine something like Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr catching fire with audiences to the extent that it can launch a range of official tinned vegetables and Cup a Soups, for instance. But Yellowstone is different. Yellowstone speaks to an audience not traditionally catered to by the television industry. Yellowstone fans are quiet, hard-working, politically conservative and – above all else – fond of a tinned stew for their dinner. In that respect, the food line represents a perfect moment of brand synergy. Most shows simply do not go to this level of effort with their official merchandise. If you like Hacks, for example, you might be able to buy a T-shirt or a mug, but that's about it. If you loved the (very enjoyable) new Netflix Asterix series, your most exciting merchandise option is a T-shirt with the word Asterix on it. If you're a fan of Lorraine Kelly, you might be happy to own an official £16 Lorraine flask , but other than that your options are limited. Some shows do go the extra mile, in fairness, although to a far more niche degree. There are lots of people who like The Last of Us, for example. And there are lots of people who enjoy the taste of mushrooms. But the number of people who will watch a show about an army of violent mushroom-possessed zombies strangling the life out of humanity in the grimmest way possible then immediately reach for a cup of official The Last of Us mushroom coffee must be vanishingly slim. And, true, Lidl recently released an entire range of edible Emily in Paris merchandise, including crepes, biscuits and macarons. But there's something almost cowardly about stocking these items in a supermarket, isn't there? Something that deliberately caters to non-fans. Maybe some of the people who bought official Emily in Paris crepes just did it because they like crepes, not because they're devotional about television programmes where Phil Collins's daughter slow-blinks at the Arc de Triomphe a lot. But to truly qualify as a Yellowstone-style hit, you really need to be selling food directly from an official website that has no clear link to your broadcaster. And in that regard, the only series that can in any way stand up to Yellowstone is ITV's Doc Martin. Yes, it seemed like a show expressly engineered for your parents to fall asleep to. And yes, it hasn't been on the air for three years now. And yet, still, on the official Doc Martin merchandise page, you can buy a tube of the sort of food Doc Martin viewers are guaranteed to go bandy over: official Doc Martin biscuits and fudge. Maybe you want a tube where Martin Clunes is dressed as a doctor on the front, or one where Martin Clunes is reacting quizzically to a dog, or even one where Martin Clunes is pulling the same expression of disgruntled bafflement that Jeremy Clarkson used to pull on the cover of all his books. Whatever you desire, the official Doc Martin merchandise site has got you covered. And since these biscuits won't inadvertently harm anyone with a soy allergy, this gives them the edge over Yellowstone. Congratulations all.
