The article emphasizes the suitability of this dish for meal prep, as it can be made in advance and preserved with ease.
You're looking for tender, soft, buttery beans that hold their shape and are not falling apart, plus a thick sauce, and some of the beans on the top layer ending up a bit 'burnt' or extra baked from direct heat exposure.
This is an excellent recipe for meal prep: This can be made ahead and keeps for at least three to four days. It also freezes and reheats very well.
