Note

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to thicken slightly before serving.

For a vegetarian version, omit the pork and beans and add an extra can of mixed beans or chickpeas.

You can substitute the brown sugar with maple syrup or honey for a different sweetness profile.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
