Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use as a substitute for chouriço in this recipe?
If you can't find chouriço, you can substitute it with any smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, andouille, or even Italian sausage. For a vegetarian option, you could use smoked tempeh or a plant-based sausage.
How should I store leftover baked pork and beans?
Store any leftover baked pork and beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the dish in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
What should I do if my baked beans are too watery after baking?
If your baked beans appear overly watery, try removing the dish from the oven and letting it cool slightly. Then, transfer half of the beans to a saucepan and simmer on the stove over medium heat until the excess liquid reduces. Once thickened, mix back into the baking dish.
