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.

@Kippersfortea

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
This is the truth

Ok I’ll let you off with the bread. But not the green stuff.

Worcester sauce goes well on baked beans.

Baked beans in a toastie made in a toastie maker is a beautiful thing.

Minus the cheese 🤮 and I agree

In my defence, I don't inflict the green bits on anyone else - it's just for me and it's not penitential at all (to me), I genuinely like it more that just beans 🤷‍♀️😊

I like my beans when they've gone slightly gloomy at the edges of the container.
Almost burnt toast, loads of pepper and a smidge of salt to taste. Smile

RobertSmithsLipstick · 30/11/2021 20:50

Gloopy.

SaintCharlie · 30/11/2021 20:59

Bread, grated cheese, Heinz baked beans, Tabasco and Lea and Perrins, s&p, fresh spinach!!!! more grated cheese, bread. Toasted in melted salted Lurpak! Yum bloody yum!!

You are correct OP.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 21:12

My beans were from Aldi and none the worse for it. I expect this will lose me supporters but in the interests of honesty I feel full disclosure is necessary 👀

I quite like the idea of gloomy beans.

Never cold though. My mum likes cold beans - fecking weirdo that she is (love her of course).

Oh no beans on toast with a fried egg on top with ketchup squirted on is the foods of the gods! My family give me looks but I do not care

NotMyCat · 30/11/2021 21:23

Here is the little weirdo with his jacket potato and beans leftovers

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 21:30

That's so funny - before I read your post and looked at the picture properly I thought it was a dog Grin

My parents dog like to eat lettuce, which I find very odd.

Got to put Marmite on the buttered toast under the beans

RobertSmithsLipstick · 30/11/2021 21:35

I like Branston beans.
With a bit of tomato sauce.

ANameChangeAgain · 30/11/2021 21:38

Thick toasted granary bread topped with (hot) baked beans, topped with banana topped with cheese then grilled is the true food of the gods 😋

@escapingthecity

Got to put Marmite on the buttered toast under the beans
sounds like game changer! I'm trying that
HeronLanyon · 30/11/2021 21:41

I had beans on toast tonight. Onion and capers. Absolute favourite.

ablutiions · 30/11/2021 21:43

Have you tried it with a splash of malt vinegar? Marvellous

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 21:46

Well I think I'll certainly have to try the marmite trick next time. I'm also intrigued by capers - I love a good caper though I feel they'd be too salty with the cheese. And I do love the cheese aspect of the thing.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 21:47

Malt vinegar you say? Ooh

OP posts:
RobertSmithsLipstick · 30/11/2021 21:48

The nobby of the bread is nice.
It toasts up in a shape that's just right for holding hot beans.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 30/11/2021 22:04

Is that the end? If so I agree!

I'd prefer cheese on toast with cheesy beans on top

MeatyRvita · 30/11/2021 22:06

It’s so mumsnet to have beans on rye bread with veg added in- not heard of that one before Grin
But beans on white bread (even sometimes cheap white sliced bread!) with cheese on top is lovely, but if I was choosing my personal choice is cheesy scrambled egg on toast instead!
