Baked beans are most often used as a side dish for grilled meals, but they can also be served as a standalone dish. Preparing homemade baked beans is very simple, but it is not the fastest process, as the beans need to be soaked for several hours, then cooked, and finally baked in the oven to create a nice crust on top. In a meatless version, you can omit the bacon.

A hearty dish featuring layers of cooked beans, boiled eggs, bacon, and crumbled young cheese. An excellent meal for colder days when you crave more robust homemade food.
