Which brand of baked beans do you prefer?

[Roughquest]

Personally I am a Heinz girl ! Heinz baked beans all the way for me...

[hc4361]

Heinz.
And Heinz tomato soup. Nothing else will do.

[Roughquest]

I quite agree hc, they are superior - and their tomato ketchup...yum !

[Jan1957]

Lidl.

[Count-A-Strong]

Teso value. Not as sweet as Heinz

[Stephen_G]

Branston - they're delicious.

I am not a baked bean fan....but Heinz if I get a craving.

[LoftyLottie]

Heinz and only Heinz.

I confess I hadn't had baked beans for about a year and then ate two tins yesterday!!

[LoftyLottie]

And only Heinz ketchup as well. No other will do!!

[LoftyLottie]

I got a craving, Pasta :o)

Crosse + Blackwell used to do a nice baked bean. Haven't seen any for a while, though.

[askyourgran]

Usually Heinz everything, soup, beans, Tom sauce and salad cream.

Not fond of Heinze at all... I like shops own brands. Reduced salt too.

[Roughquest]

Ha, SandyRoe, a friend of mine bought round a can of Crosse & Blackwell beans, complaining she could not eat them as they were hard as bullets ! She tried to palm them off on me, but I wasnt having any of it....hahaha

[pastafreak]

erm....did ya pay the price for eating 2 tins,lofty...????

lol

[LoftyLottie]

Funnily enough I didn't Pasta ;o). I really did have a craving and after the first tin on some toast I just had to have another!!

[LoftyLottie]

Some own brand tins of beans are all sauce with about two beans!!

[lcg]

any, really if they are from a can...i'm not that fussy. However, I make me own - boston style baked beans. luckin fush!

turn the oven to 150 degrees, get a big casserole pot and...

fry 4 slices of cubed belly pork with an onion and garlic (and salt and pepper)

add to:
1 can butter beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans (any beans, actually)

the sauce: (roughly measured for your own taste - this is truly a bung it in and see recipe)
1 pint beef stock (I use 2 cubes)
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons tomato puree
2 massive dollops of black treacle
1 massive teaspoon of mustard
chillies - if you like spice

bung in the oven and wait for 4-5 hours, taking the top off and stirring once!!!!!

add 1/2 baked rolls to the oven for 10 mins @ 220 degrees and proceed to stuff face

you haven't lived until you have eaten these beans........x

I like them cold straight out of the tin. Lovely.

[China Doll]

Never had that experience Lofty, I'd cry! I like tescos or sainsburys own, I find the heinz range too sweet really..... Although I guess they're probably all more or less the same thing.
