How can I make baked beans more interesting?

[AmberLangslow]

I’m doing a lazy dinner tonight (husband only just finishing work) and the vegetable portion is going to be baked beans. Problem is I don’t really like them - I had some barbecue beans whilst we were on holiday that were quite nice and wondering if I can add anything from my store cupboard to liven these normal ones up a bit.

Paprika
Chilli
Lots of black pepper

BBQ sauce
Tesco sells the BBQ beans and chill and god knows what else beans!!

Cheese

The vegetable portion is going to be baked beans? Huh?

Buttered toast, scrambled egg on top, grated cheese on top of the egg, and baked beans on top of it all - absolutely yummy!

This is how I do mine (vegan but you can just use dairy versions).
Heat some butter in a pan and fry an onion, add brown sugar to caramelise it. Then add smoked paprika. Add the beans and grated cheese, plenty of black pepper and some liquid smoke. I can't stand baked beans straight from the can, but could live on them like this.

Worchester sauce and cheese...

I add srircha.

Add chopped bacon

Chipotle paste

I hate baked beans but had a veggie burger at a barbecue recently which had baked beans in and it tasted really nice surprisingly!

Depends what you like to eat and what is in yr ’store cupboard’.

You can pretty much add anything to baked beans as they’re a lovely bland blanket.

A bit of curry powder is nice

Onions and Worcester sauce - Amazzzzing!

Branstons beans

Handful of raisins and a teaspoon of curry powder. Seriously. Pimped beans.

Curry powder, raw onion and black pepper!

Mix 2 tsps Worcestershire sauce, tiny bit of crushed garlic, tsp brown sugar, tsp tomato puree, half tsp smoked paprika and stir into beans for a barbecue sauce flavour.
