Baked beans appear in some of the season’s most trendy dishes, from savory brunch bowls to modern spins on comfort food. One standout is the barbecue chicken rice bowl. Start with a base like rice, sweet potatoes or Bush’s Original Baked Beans, then pile on toppings like coleslaw, chicken, avocado, and jalapeños.

“I’m also a big fan of Grandma’s Favorite Bush’s Baked Beans,” Goodson said. “Loaded with beef, bacon, smoked sausage, and veggies, it brings big flavor and a hint of nostalgia.”
