Full of Beans
Gluten-free
Check the tin of baked beans is gluten-free We have checked the ingredients as written, but we are not dietitians and brands vary — stock cubes, sauces, oats and spice mixes can all contain gluten. Please check every label, especially if you have coeliac disease.
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!!

Method

- If you want to expand the sauce just…….
- Add the onion to a pan with a tiny amount of oil or butter/marg, and slightly cook it for couple of minutes
- Tip the beans into the pan. then add the remaining ingredients and turn the heat to medium for 5 minutes until the sauce starts to gently bubble.
- Stir gently with a wooden spoon to stop everything sticking and burning on the bottom.
- Cook for a further 15 minutes until the sauce is thick and glossy, then serve.
