Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned Boston baked beans
- 2 tbsp Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tbsp Molasses
- 2 tsp Light brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns or sandwich rolls, split
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional)
- 8 slices Pickle slices (optional)
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the canned Boston baked beans, mustard, molasses, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the beans while stirring occasionally. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and thicken slightly.
While the beans are cooking, preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the cut sides of each sandwich roll or burger bun. Place the buns, buttered side down, onto the preheated skillet or griddle and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the beans have thickened and are heated through, remove the saucepan from the heat.
To assemble the sandwiches, spoon a generous portion of the baked beans onto the bottom half of each toasted bun or roll.
If desired, top the beans with coleslaw for added crunch and tang, followed by pickle slices for extra flavor.
Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich to close. If desired, garnish the sandwiches with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Boston Baked Bean Sandwich!
