Lou-Style Baked Beans

St. Louis food favorites tend to be a little unorthodox, and these beans are no exception. Our sweet and tangy baked beans simmer with garlicky fire roasted tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, and mustard. But the real magic happens when they’re topped with provolone cheese and breadcrumbs and baked until bubbly.
