Beans on Toast Recipe

Beans on toast is a timeless classic. I’ve posted this one just for fun really. Kids love it. It’s quick, very simple and very, very cheap too. Great for students too although beware of the side effects.

Beans on Toast Ingredients

  • One tin of Baked Beans
  • Four slices of bread

Serves: 1

How to make beans on toast

Toast the bread in the toaster until a delicious golden brown. Once done, arrange on a plate, open the tin of baked beans and pour liberally over the toast. Put plate with beans and toast into the microwave and cook on full power for about 2 minutes.

When done, sprinkle liberally with white pepper and grated cheese.

Yum.

Beans on Toast Variations

If you fancy something a little more “interesting” try experimenting by adding a few additional ingredients. e.g.

Chilli powder – gives an extra ‘kick’ and is great if you have a sore throat

Ketchup – for a thicker, richer sauce

Onion – adds a bit more texture and flavour to the beans

Beef stock – a cube of beef stock will add some kick to the flavour

The best way to add these extra ingredients is to cook the beans in a saucepan on the stove rather than in a microwave.
