Beans On Toast

[Vagus]

For us tonight...thick sliced hovis for me, toasty white sliced for him. Real butter. A splash of brown sauce and some grated cheese on top.

>>> " . . . and some grated cheese on top".

That's the wrong way round!  Make some cheese on toast and then top it with the beans!

A rose by any other name..😋

My word, Vagus! You really know how to live!

BTW, my house is full of the smell of Italian herbs right now.  That's because I've got a very basic beef casserole slowly cooking in my oven.  (It's been in there for nearly two and a half hours now but I'll give it another hour or two before attacking it, I think!)

[Vagus]

Well, I did push the boat out and make an effort tonight bookbinder, glad you noticed 😂

Golly Chris, made from scratch???

Bangers and mash for us.

Don't get putting sauce on beans but if you enjoy it that's all that matters.

>>> "made from scratch???"

Er, sort of!

I took a portion of casserole steak from my freezer and defrosted it.  I then made up a basic sauce to cook it in from a packet of beef and tomato cup soup (made a little thicker than normal) with a generous dollop of tomato purée and some dried Italian herbs.  I couldn't be bothered to par boil any veg this time, so I just added sliced carrots from a can and some tinned new potatoes.

I'll give it several hours in the oven, at Gas Mark 2, to ensure that the beef is really tender.

As I wrote above, it's a very basic beef casserole!

Sounds tasty Chris, who cares what goes into it as long as you enjoy eating it.
