the humble tin of baked beans..

COOLTRIKERCHICK

with me.. now committing my self to the grocery challenge i have been hunting the charity shops for old and unusual cook books.....

and for 59p..i bought a book.. its the heinz book of baked bean recipes...

there are some ott.. ones in there....
like bean cheesecake:eek:

but one of the ones that i like the sound of is
winter warming bean casserole.you need
1lb..12 oz pork spare ribs.( or any pork bits really )
1LN SUEDE
1LB LEEKS
1 OZ LARD
8OZ COOKING APPLES
1/2 PINT CIDER

15.9 OZ TIN OF BAKED BEANS

TRIM PORK.. REMOVING ANY BONES ETC... CUT INTO CUBES... PEEL AND CUBE SUEDE TRIM AND CUT LEEKS INTO 1 INCH PIECES..

MELT FAT IN FRYING PAN add meat an cook until lightly brown then transfer into 5 pint casserole dish

fry suede and leeks gently for 5 mins and then add to meat
peel ..core and slice the apples thickly add to casserole dish...
pour over cider.... stir in baked beans and season well

cook in preheated oven 180c gas mark 4 for 1 and half horus or until meat is tender

variation....any winter vegetables can be used..

so i thought that maybe other people have got recipes that include bake beans...

Add some curry powder to the beans, hey presto baked beans curry, you could even push the boat out and add a tin of meatballs!:D

I've put Marmite in them before to give them a bit of a kick



Two quickie recipes that are nice and cheap, and not too unhealthy -

Brown off some mince, add a tin of beans and a little gravy, cook through and serve with boiled potatoes - or you can cook the potatoes in with everything else to make a kind of hash (uses only one hob and pan then too)


And one that is popular with the kids - empty 2 tins of beans (or one beans and beans & sausage) into a casserole dish (3 pint one is about right, although you can just squeeze it into a 2 pint one), cover with mashed potato and grated cheese, and cook in the oven at about 190 for 15 minutes (ours is an old oven so you may not need as long/as hot).

:rotfl: I imagine its just a mispell? Should be Swede

I LOVE beans

My Nan put a tin of beans in all of her casseroles & stews & cottage pies. I should blame her then for my love of beans!

I'm looking forward to more bean recipes although you can't beat good old beans on toast. A bit of grated cheese if its a special occasion :rotfl:

I like topping beans on toast with worcester sauce, cheese and garlic chives.:D

beans in spag boll of sheperds pie is a good way of filling the meal out so you dont have to use as much mince and it's still fills you up.

beans on toast mmmmmmm but i have to say for me they usually have to be heinz and i cook em till the sauce thickens up a lot so when you put em on your (wholemeal) toast they it won't go all soggy. also nice with a scrambled egg. my daughter loves this

I've found that a knob of butter and some black pepper in baked beans is really tasty.
