After trying a number of ways to enjoy my baked beans, I can safely say that this is one of my favourites and I will probably add soy sauce to it again, especially considering I always have a bottle of it in my kitchen.

Similarly, s, giving them a salty and tangy touch that would otherwise be missing.
