    comfort food - ways with baked beans

    This isn't allotment food, its storecupboard food, and my favourite comfort food:

    1 tin Basic Beans
    smidge of tomato puree
    1 onion
    some grated cheese - as much as you fancy
    lasagne sheets

    Method
    Fry the chopped onion for a few minutes till soft. Add tin beans and tomato puree. Mix up nicely.
    Now layer the bean mixture with sheets of lasagne and grated cheese (no need to make a cheese sauce if you use enough cheese). Top with grated cheese and pepper. Cook in a hottish oven till brown & bubbly (about 200C)





    You can make baked bean soup too: chopped onion, tin of beans, smidge of puree, about a pint of stock or water. Simmer about 20 mins, then whizz with a handblender

      Or my sister's trick

      Fry some chopped pepper (bell) in a little oil or butter, add beans and heat through. Add some paprika/chilli depending on heat required.

      Very tasty.

      Espesh with cheese on a jacket.

          Baked bean curry is nice, as is baked bean chilli! A long time ago I went thru a phase of being skint, and learnt lots of ways to use the humble baked bean as a basis of a meal!

                      I think I'm a bit strange - baked beans freak me out slightly - have done since I started school. I can't face eating them & aren't keen on having them around the house - my OH hasn't eaten them for years because of me!

                        baked bean crumble. We used to make this when I was young and lived with mum on a tight budget

                        tin of beans poured into an ovenproof dish. 4oz plain flour, 2 oz butter, pinch salt rubbed together to form crumble type mixture. Mix in 2 oz grated cheese and sprincle over beans. cook in medium heat oven for about 20 mins till golden and brown. yummm. would probably add some cooked diced peppers and onions now and maybe a few cherry tomatoes cut in half

                          When my husband cooks for himself his favourite is baked beans and tuna. He puts cold tinned tuna into a dish, adds a chopped tomato and covers it with hot baked beans. He has enthused about this dish for ages and one day he cooked it for me. I can report that it was unmittigatedly horrible!

                            It was the tuna what ruined it!
                            When I was convalescing, a quick dinner was cheesy mash and cheesy beans, yum (I needed the protein and calories at the time, having lost half a stone in a week...I gained it all back and more!)

                              dont like baked beans from a tin exept cheesy beans, hate finding baked beans in things people have cooked for me, cant even have them on the same plate as my breakfast, think its the smell and texture in the wrong place that puts me off, love dried beans in things tho.
