Baked beans on toast with cheese is the food of the gods

No time to prep proper food today so we had beans on rye toast, slathered with butter, grated mature cheddar on top and lots of black pepper.

Kids had just beans as above and I fried some green pepper and sugar snaps peas to add to mine.

Initially I felt guilty about giving kids a lazy tea but by the end I felt no guilt at all, it was so bloody good 😊

That's all.

I used to love baked beans, but they don't taste the same anymore. I must see if I can order Branston baked beans on line, they were always better than Heinz but I don't see them in Irish supermarkets.

Each to their own, but I just couldn't deal with the mixed textures of what you've described, OP!

Beans and cheese on toast is amazing but not on rye bread and definitely never with green veg.

Squidgy toast with beans and cheese on top. Yum!

@Luredbyapomegranate

Agree beans on toast (or in a jacket potato) can be improved by mixing in marmite. And adding cheese.

But green vegetables have no business being on the same plate as baked beans imo.

@Luredbyapomegranate

You need marmite Grin
Beat me to it. The addition of marmite makes it The Best.

This is such a middle class version of beans on toast hahaha, rye bread… sugar snap peas & green pepper Grin

Gatekeeper · 30/11/2021 19:46

beans on buttered toast with a fried egg on top! Butter, bean juice and yolk is LOVELY

JessicaPipsqueak · 30/11/2021 19:54

No. Absolutely revolting

But if you swap out the beans with Heinz spaghetti hoops with as much sauce drained off as is possible and then lots of grated cheddar - I'll agree with you

Fish finger sarnies with tommy sauce on white bread......

More food of the gods......

Kippersfortea · 30/11/2021 20:04

Baked potato, butter, grated cheddar, beans, more cheddar, salt and black pepper with a side salad covered in salad cream and many pickled onions is one of my favourite ever meals. Really can't beat it

speakout · 30/11/2021 20:05

Cheese and beans together is far too salty for me.

DrCoconut · 30/11/2021 20:07

Agreed. I have to have gluten free bread these days which slightly dilutes the experience but yes.

boxcar · 30/11/2021 20:10

Add home made pickled onions & a glass of red wine. Perfect.

ILoveAllRainbowsx · 30/11/2021 20:17

I always add a can of red kidney beans to the baked beans.

ILoveAllRainbowsx · 30/11/2021 20:18

*drained kidney beans

Oatsamazing · 30/11/2021 20:19

The cheese ruins it for me, just beans butter and toast, yum! If I'm alone I lick the plate clean Grin

CarbsAreNotMyFriend · 30/11/2021 20:22

You mean a cheesy beano? Sensational meal 😍

DukkaDukka · 30/11/2021 20:22

Why the need for green peppers and sugar snap peas, that’s quite um…. random disgusting. Confused

Also rye bread.

Caspianberg · 30/11/2021 20:22

Used to have baked bean toasties as kids. In those pocket type toasty machines. The beans were like LAVA.

IneedareallifeAlexa · 30/11/2021 20:23

Try spreading the toast with Lurpak garlic butter instead of regular butter, before the beans. It's so good!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 30/11/2021 20:24

You always here about cheesy beans on toast, or jacket potato beans and cheese, but no one ever mentions the ultimate, fed me through uni, pasta beans and cheese with Lee & perins.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 20:26

Lol at the middle class/MN beans comments.

To the rye bread naysayers - you are prob imagining dark rye but this is white rye. It's a fav here with all the dc - sourdough polish white rye. Sounds vair naice but is actually pretty cheap from Tesco.

I absolutely love beans with added veg - when I was a drunken teen my go to late night snack was cheesy beans with chopped red pepper BlushGrin

Beans on French toast is lovely! (No cheese on this version.)
I also use Aldi Honey soaked seeded bread, Lurpak, and mix white pepper into the beans while heating them up.

NotMyCat · 30/11/2021 20:33

My cat is OBSESSED with jacket potato with beans and cheese. I have to eat it out of reach and he sits purring at me until I've finished Hmm and give him some
Little weirdo wants the potato Confused

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 20:34
