    I'm assuming this is some kind of sausage and bean casserole, but do you add anything to make it bbq or chilli-ish?

    I've seen it like a boston beans before now - with diced smoked bacon, brown sauce and black treacle.
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    Welcome FTM - I too love the planning bit.

    It's the sticking to the plan I have a bit more trouble with.

    Love the idea of crumpets for breakfast (OmNomNomNom)
