Cooking with Jonny69: Baked bean feast *UPDATED*
This is an old favourite from my student days and I still eat it all the time. I started making it on a Sunday morning as the ultimate all-in-one pan hangover killing satisfying breakfast treat but it's great for dinner or lunch. You can make loads of it in one go and keep it in the fridge ready to microwave. Then once you've had a go at this one you can progress to my sausage and bean casserole which is a more formal version of this with proper beans, better for dinner and great for the upcoming cold nights. Both are a hearty meal and will impress your friends be they dinner guests or hangover buddies.
Edit for 2009: Now we're in 2009 and I know how to take digital pictures and host them online I've come back to this with pictures a plenty. See below.
You need:
1 pack of sausages
1 pack of bacon
1 onion, chopped
1 tin of potatoes or leftover cooked potatoes
2 tins of baked beans
Sauce of your choice, HP, Ketchup, BBQ, Worcester, English mustard, Nandos etc.
Large frying pan
Fry the sausages until cooked and in the meantime chop the onion and bacon into small pieces. Once the sausages are cooked remove them from the pan and cut them into bite sized pieces. Fry the chopped bacon until crispy and in the bacon fat fry the onions until soft. Add the potatoes in with the onion so that the outsides become browned slightly. Return the sausage to the pan and pour over the two tins of baked beans. Now season it up nicely with the sauce of your choice making sure it's as spicy as you can handle and it's ready to eat.
But wait, we're not done yet! Pull out a baking dish and you can make this really cool. Pour the beanfeast into the dish and crack 6 eggs over the top and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes until the eggs are cooked. Now you can take slices out the dish and serve it as it is. This will keep for up to a week in the fridge.
Oh and serve up with a large mug of tea or coffee. It's much better with
This time I've used leftover lardons, new potatoes and sausages I already had cooked. Hunk it all up, roughly, on the chopping board:
These will shortly be combined with this:
Soften and get a bit of colour on the onions and add the potatoes to crisp up the outsides:
Add the meaty stuff:
At this point I added some hot Jamaica jerk seasoning for a bit of extra flavour and a deadly kick to come and get you afterwards:
Beans...
(I also added some organic ketchup for extra tomatoey richness)
Simmer... and serve with the compulsory cup of strong spotty tea:
Coming soon: Sausage casserole.
