Do you use a big or small can of pineapple chunks?
This recipe calls for the normal 10-14 ounce cans. Thanks for your comment. I have updated the post to be more obvious. Happy cooking!
Can I use crushed pineapple?
Thank you for your comment on my article about the Easy Hawaiian Baked Beans recipe! Regarding your question, yes, you can definitely use crushed pineapple as a substitute for a can of pineapple chunks in juice in this recipe. It will still provide that delicious tropical flavor to the dish.
Using crushed pineapple may actually enhance the flavor and texture of the baked beans, as the pineapple will be more evenly distributed throughout the dish.
Feel free to give it a try and let me know how it turns out for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask. Enjoy your Hawaiian-inspired baked beans!
How many ounces are each cans?????
Most bean cans are between 15-16 ounces. Chunked pineapple is usually around 18-20 ounces.
Can leftovers be frozen?
I don’t typically have much luck freezing beans – they turn gritty on me.
Love the Hawaiian flavor. Everything sounds and tastes so lively and close to nature. A protein-packed dish with mouth-watering flavors. I can imagine being in Hawai and listening to Ukelele music 🙂 Worth trying
