As long as you don't eat it morning noon and night then, yes I'd say it is good for you.
Beans are low in fat but high in complex carbohydrate, protein, and high in Folic acid, and Zinc - all good for you. And a bunch of other vitamins and minerals. Also lycopene in the tomato sauce.
However, many brands do also contain a lot of salt (and sugar). Heinz have been systematically reducing the salt content of their baked beans for the last 20 years so people adjust gradually without suddenly hating the taste cause it has less salt than they're used to.
As for the Cheese - well in moderation I see no harm, it has good protein content, but it does also have lots of cholesterol, and saturated fat.
As for the toast - well unless you have any sort of gluten or wheat intolerance, and it's wholemeal bread sometimes, and not always white - then I'd also say it's good for you - full of complex carbohydrate, and fibre to keep things moving along and help reduce the impact of some of that cholesterol and fat in the cheese.
AND, importantly if you ask me - an excellent, delicious combination! A man after my own heart - Baked beans and cheese on toast...and I too like to add black pepper to it - sometimes also sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese & also done under the grill and, with the baked beans then poured over the top! Mmmmm.....

As long as you're not allergic to beans, yes. About 10% of the population cannot digest them.
Mixing beans and grains gives you a complete protein, as good as the protein in steak. So beans on toast is an ideal meal. Plus it contains other nutrients and complex carbohydrate. It'll give you long term energy.
Adding cheese adds more protein and essential fats.

Baked beans with wholemeal toast are good for you without the cheese, as this is too fatty. Beans are a good GI food with a long sustain value so you feel less hungry afterwards for longer.

As long as the toast is wholemeal, the beans are low salt and low sugar, and you go easy on the cheese, yes, it is actually good for you. Pulses are a wonder food, high in soluble fibre, protein, and other goodies.

The cheese adds saturated fat. Baked beans are lots of fiber, but also lots of sugar. Over all, it's not too bad. Better than buttered pop tarts.

baked beans are good for you if they don't have too much bacon and sugar in them. Cheese is OK, in moderation, and toast is fine. Sounds kinda odd all together, but hey, to each his own!

Be careful not to burn your mouth if the beans are that hot!!!
Plenty of fibre there but watch the salt / sodium levels.
