Baked beans - Serve hot or cold

[PollyannaMom]

always hot ............... unless ............. I make Bake Bean Salad.

Hot here as well, but what's baked bean salad?

Really called Boston Bean Salad
but tastes just like baked beans, cold, with a bit of a bite.
So we just call it Baked Bean Salad.

Always a hit. I've made it for .... decades.

They're ok cold if you''re having a picnic but they're much better when they're warmed up. They have more flavor when they're hot.

I could probably eat them cold straight out of the can if they were the last food on earth but as long as we still have choices, mine will definitely always be hot.

Vote for hot.

I never realized serving them cold was a thing. That explains a dinner we were invited to years ago where they opened a can of baked beans, dumped them in a bowl and stuck a spoon in them.

Canned baked beans are only acceptable in the case of nuclear fallout. Just about any other form of baked beans is vastly superior to what's in the can. I also want to agree with the others here who mentioned potato chips as accompaniment to baked beans.

Never heard of serving baked beans cold.

Thanks for the recipe!

If pressed for time, my mom used to doctor up the canned ones with brown sugar and bacon before putting them in the oven - it definitely improved them!

I prefer them cold, especially if they are home made with bacon. Of course they are hot when removed from the oven, but I like them cold the next day.

I like them cold (not room temperature). But I also like them hot. Really depends on the recipe. I have made some that have butter in them so definetly want those hot.

It's interesting to me the number of folks who've never even heard of having baked beans cold. How do you all feel about eating cold fried chicken?

Cold out of the can or the fridge, no. I heat my can of Grandma Brown’s (only ones i’ll eat) in the microwave with extra brown sugar on top. If they cool down...still good.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

From a can? dipping chips? baked bean salad? Cold? Cold fried chicken?

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Hot

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Um, what?

Hot.

In a crock.

Covered in bacon.

That's a big NO as well. Then again, I don't eat any fried chicken, hot or cold.

 

[MaryLovesPoohBear]

Never heard of eating them cold. And I have to say, cold doesn't sound very tasty.

So, hot. Always hot.

 

[dish rag]

I like them either way. Probably have had them more often cold.

 

[aprilgail]

Hot- I wouldn't eat them if they were cold, gross!

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Hot, VERY hot!
