  • Use Canned Beans: Canned beans are a convenient and affordable way to add protein and fiber to your dish. Rinse and drain the beans before using them to remove excess sodium.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your pork and beans with a variety of spices and herbs. Garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin are all great options.
  • Use a Good Quality Barbecue Sauce: The barbecue sauce is a key ingredient in pork and bean bars, so make sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the pork and bean bars until they are golden brown on top. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy texture.
