Loaf and maybe some baked beans here (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'loaf' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'maybe some baked beans here' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "A silvery-white metal often in cans" , "Canister" , "Silver-white metal, used to make cans" , "Metal in Argentina" , "Silver-white element often used in food containers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
