IMO beans on toast are the *only* acceptable use of a tin of baked beans in 'tomato' sauce.
On my Metallurgy BA we were taught the lurid sauce was mostly about hiding the metal oxides (can't remember if it was beens or tuna where the welding process for making the seam destroys the protective plastic coating on the inside of the tin, tuna probably).
Wash off the sauce and you've a perfectly serviceable tin of budget haricots for chill or stews etc.
... or play them at their own game and dirty up the sauce with Worcestershire, chutney, pepper, mushroom additions etc etc.
