   • Sprinkle the seasoned bread cubes over the beans in the baking dish, creating an even layer.

Additional Tips:

• Freezing Tomato Paste: If you have leftover tomato paste, you can freeze it for future use. Simply portion the tomato paste into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the tomato paste cubes into a ziplock bag or vacuum-sealed bag for long-term storage.

• Serve with: This hearty dish pairs well with crusty bread, a side salad, or as a tasty accompaniment to grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

• Make Ahead: You can prepare the bean mixture and assemble the dish ahead of time. Simply cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Allow the dish to come to room temperature before baking for best results.

• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving.

• Garnish: Before serving, garnish the baked beans with freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
