Proper Baked Beans
Beans on toast, or beans on a baked spud is much tastier when you make your own beans in sauce. This slow cooker recipe is super simple and the results are delicious.
Ingredients
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 carrots finely chopped
• At least 2 rashers streaky bacon/gammon - chopped into small pieces.
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 finely chopped chilli
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 large jar passata
• Half a pint of stock (from a cube is fine)
• 3 cans beans in water - cannellini, butter, black eye, haricot or any other beans you fancy. You can use dried if you soak overnight and boil before adding, it’s cheaper but more effort.
• Optional - 2 tablespoon smoky barbecue sauce
Put everything in a slow cooker and heat on low for at least 6 hours.
If making for vegetarians leave out the bacon and add 1 tsp soy sauce instead.
