Fry up an onion & a couple rashers of bacon. Add a cup of chunky tomato passata, 1 dsp golden syrup & 1 tsp smoked paprika. Simmer for 5 mins until thick, then add a can of drained cannelini beans. Heat through & top with some parsley. Makes about two cans worth of baked beans. Enjoy!Red Nomad OZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020668094026661054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-43141619315674765432011-12-09T16:32:03.066+10:302011-12-09T16:32:03.066+10:30Manzanita; that's another brand we don't h...Manzanita; that's another brand we don't have out here in Aus. I've never made my own baked beans, it seems like a lot of trouble for just a small bowl of beans.<br /><br />Pearl; Bush's baked beans. One more brand that I haven't seen in Australia. I'm going to have to shop around I think and see if I can find some that aren't Heinz or SPC.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-43579545483530350322011-12-09T02:03:06.712+10:302011-12-09T02:03:06.712+10:30"As you do."
I laughed at that.
I'..."As you do."<br /><br />I laughed at that.<br /><br />I've not had that problem with the baked beans, so I wonder about the brand. I dont' care for Van Camp's, as I find them too sweet, but Bush's Baked Beans? Yum...<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-53139927383467509552011-12-09T01:40:03.349+10:302011-12-09T01:40:03.349+10:30That feeling of hunger comes suddenly after you wa...That feeling of hunger comes suddenly after you wake up from a nap and I do like beans. Now, I always make my own, soaked over night and cooked in a slow oven in a bean pot, so they taste good.<br /> BUT ... when I was young, during the depression, we had a can of Van Camps beans and white Wonder bread for many a meal. To this day, a bean sandwich is my comfort food. <br />We could eat our beans and bread together if we lived a continent closer.

Or maybe I'll just toss (donate) them. <br /><br />no-one; no way. That's way too much trouble. I'll find something else to eat with my toast. <br /><br />Toni; I like them, but I'm too often disappointed to find the beans are hard, like they haven't been cooked enough before being canned or maybe they're just poor quality beans. <br /><br />Tempo; I've noticed a deterioration in quality over time and this is just the end for me. <br /><br />peskypixies; too true. The almighty dollar has taken over and we're flooded with quantity, but not quality.<br /><br />Windsmoke; I've added flavours in the past, although I do like them plain as well. It's the hardness of the beans I'm objecting to. <br /><br />Kath Lockett; There was more than an hour between the milkshake and the beans, almost two hours. Still would have been okay if the beans were tender, not like marbles. <br /><br />Plasman; homemade chocolate milkshake, nothing wrong there....<br /><br />FruitCake; I've never liked dripping on toast or bread. My dad and sister used to love it, but not beef dripping; in our house it was lard with a sprinkle of salt. Known as schmaltz and saltz, we're German you see....<br /><br />Kelley@magnetoboldtoo; if you can find a brand that has beans not BEADS, go for it.
