For even more BBQ flavor, I usually drizzle a little extra sauce over the top before serving. You can also cook up a few strips of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/how-to-cook-bacon-in-the-oven\/\">bacon in the oven<\/a> (or your favorite veggie alternative) while the beans simmer, then crumble it over the top for a crispy finish.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage-amp-reheating\">Storage &amp; Reheating<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. I think the flavors get <em>even<\/em> better as these barbecue beans and greens sit! To reheat, microwave in 30-second bursts until warmed through, or heat on the stovetop over medium-low with a splash of broth or water to loosen it up. This one should also freeze well. Let it cool completely, portion into freezer-safe containers, and freeze for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cp-load-after-post\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recipe is one of my favorites because it\u2019s crazy cheap, feeding a family of 6 for just over a buck per person, and it\u2019s a flavor explosion thanks to a mix of Southern greens and tangy BBQ sauce.
