Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftover components, store the cooked burger patty, bacon, and baked beans separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the burger patty in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Warm the baked beans in a saucepan or microwave, then assemble the burger fresh with toasted bread for the best texture.
