Grilled baked beans are the least messy and quickest way to cook baked beans. They can either be cooked in a reusable aluminum foil pan, or in aluminum foil packets. These are best made with prepared canned baked beans, as the grill doesn't cook long enough to fully cook pinto beans from scratch. They can be a great additional protein, whether grilling in summer or winter. An easy way to add a vegetable if no other way to cook is available. Either way, a little seasoning and the beans will have a delicious taste enjoyable with any meal.
