Ingredients
- 1 can Heinz Beans (made in England) 415 g/14.6 oz
- 3 lices bread
- 1 tsp butter (optional)
Instructions
- Put the beans into a small pot over medium low heat.
- Put the bread in the toaster, and make the toast as desired. (If you like, you can butter the toast, but I find it unecessary as the beans are the primary flavor.)
- Stir the beans, and heat until almost boiling, but don't allow to boil. (According to directions on the tin, this will affect the flavor.)
- Place the toast on plates, and spoon ⅓ tin of the beans over the top of each slice. Serve immediately, preferably with a cup of hot tea.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Do not let the beans come to a boil. As per the instructions, it will affect the flavor of the beans.
- If desired, fry some thinly sliced onions, then add the beans to heat them (my dad's favorite).
- If you decide to use an online recipe that claims to be like Heinz beans, prepare to be disappointed as the recipes are nothing like what comes in the can.
