Homemade Baked Beans

We made “Jacket Potatoes” the other night (or what we call in our family “Mr Spud” - anyone else call it this?!), and among other toppings, I whipped up this yummy homemade baked beans concoction. 

I kept it pretty basic, but you could add in grated veggies (zucchini, carrots, etc) if you wanted to sneak in some extra veggies :) 

Ingredients

• 1 onion, peeled and cut thinly
• 1 garlic clove, peeled & crushed
• 20g olive oil
• 425g can mixed beans
• 400g can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

• Heat oil in a med-high frypan and add onion and garlic. Cook for 5min, or until soft.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the frypan, and cook for 10min. 
• Season with salt and pepper and serve on toast or as a side dish.
