Fans have already caught wind of the launch on X, where they seem in favour of the new pairing.
“Whoooo hoooo I just said yesterday cheesy beans needed to come back,” one person wrote.
“Heavenly,” quipped another commentator, while a third person exclaimed: “They listened! Need to get these in some time.”
“I hope these have a mature cheddar taste,” another X user chimed in.
The launch follows new research showing that the majority of Britons prefer eating their baked beans with lashings of cheese.
It emerged that the average Briton eats baked beans 57 times a year, with a further 25 per cent indulging in the snack twice a week or more.
