The latest trio of tinned goods are anything but traditional, featuring inspiration from across the globe.
With more than 1,000 votes, the winning flavour was Pizza Beanz.
The twist on the iconic Italian dish includes beans with rich tomato, creamy cheese and a hint of basil.
Heinz urged its fans to enjoy the latest flavour with the classic accompaniment of garlic bread.
Crossing over to the north of Africa, another flavour which has tongues wagging is Tagine Beanz.
A Moroccan-inspired mix, it is packed with typical flavours including cumin, harissa and cinnamon.
Brits looking to make this into meal have been told to switch out the classic toast for couscous or flatbread.
Also landing on supermarket shelves will be Sweet & Sour Beanz.
For those of us looking for a Chinese takeaway in a can, these beans are packed with zingy, punchy flavour.
The fakeaway can be completed with a decent serving of rice and some crispy chicken.
Shoppers can find these in stores from October 8.
Aside from seeing their flavours come to life, the competition winners took home £5000 and secured a lifetime supply of beans.
Alessandra de Dreuille, Director of Meals & Infant UK at Heinz said: “We love seeing the creativity of our fans.
“The entries from our Beanz of your Dreamz competition show just how much fun mealtimes can be.
“The flavour combinations they’ve dreamed up are inspired by cuisines from all over the world.
“And our three new flavours, chosen by the public, bring the same great taste and quality of Heinz Beanz…
“… proving once again that Beanz really do go with anything.”
The latest flavours will join the popular flavours range, which includes BBQ, Chilli, and Cheesy Beanz.
Heinz has also confirmed the return of fan-favourite Monster Munch flavour mayonnaise.
The limited edition bottles of pickled onion-flavoured sauce has landed in selected stores for the second-year running.
Last month, the beloved brand launched a brand new range of “beans based meals” for the first time in UK supermarkets.
The bean and pulse based meal pouches are available to buy across all Sainsbury’s stores and online with Ocado.
Among the flavours on offer are Chilli Black Beanz, Curry Chickpeaz and Tomato Cannellini Beanz.
Each 250g pouch is made from natural ingredients and provides at least one of your five a day.
Last year, the can connoisseurs teamed up with cheese maker Cathedral City to recreate one of Britain’s favourite combos.
The odd tins featured cheese already mixed into the bean sauce, and they’ll be available in stores from February 21.
Research released by Heinz said Brits eat baked beans more than once a week, with a quarter of Brits eating them more than that.
Two-thirds of baked bean fans like to put cheese on top.
Heinz also sells Beanz Filled Hash Browns and Heinz Beanz Pizza.
The firm previously created a step-by-step guide to making beans on toast — because one in five people have no idea how to do it.
