There are so many different types of baked beans out there, and each one is a little different depending on where you live. This particular recipe is more like British-style baked beans, as the beans are served in a slightly sweet, tomato-y sauce. American-style baked beans usually contain some sort of meat, like bacon, and they have a rich, sweet flavor, often using brown sugar, molasses, honey, or other add-ins. There is no one "right" way to make beans, so feel free to adapt the flavors to your own preferences.
