    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are cowboy beans made of?

    This easy recipe includes ground beef, bacon, barbecue sauce, butter beans, pork & beans, navy beans and kidney beans. With some spices and apple cider vinegar add in this recipe is an amazing main dish or side dish.

    How long do baked beans last in the fridge?

    These gluten free cowboy baked beans should last in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in a sealed container. I think the beans are even better the next day reheated and served with my Southwestern Style Coleslaw.
