These are a doctored up can of beans which takes about 5 minutes to improve upon what’s already in the can of Bush’s Baked Beans.
Ingredients
- 3 medium scallions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 (28-ounce) can Bush’s Baked Beans
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- a couple of strips of cooked bacon, diced
Instructions
Thinly slice 3 medium scallions, keeping the dark green parts separate from the white and light green parts.
Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the white and light green scallion parts, 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons gochujang, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the scallions are tender and the mixture is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 (28-ounce) can Bush’s Baked Beans and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer, about 4 minutes. Garnish with the dark green scallion parts and bacon bits.
