This recipe either expands the amount of servings from one tin of beans or you can choose to replace the Heinz sauce for your own.

Some might argue the logic behind rinsing the sauce from a tin of baked beans, only to replace it with your own. It seems a lot of effort to go to just for something slightly superior, but slightly superior it is. We love these– on their own on toast, spooned into a pitta bread, or as part of a big breakfast – and they’re three of your five-a-day, too.

If you want to expand the amount of beans you have from one tin, then this recipe will double the amount .

Happy eating!!
