Receta Baked Beans
Pour two jars of B&M brand Original Baked Beans in a large Dutch Oven.
Hey now! I thought this was supposed to be a recipe for baked beans! How can baked beans be included in the recipe if the recipe is for baked beans?! Isn’t that like using a word in the definition of that word? Isn’t that some sort of messed up circular logic?! That’s just not gonna fly.
I want baked beans. Not doctored up canned beans.
These are not Boston Baked Beans. I’m bound and determined to find a recipe for those, too. These are tomato-y baked beans – that kind I once ate on an early morning in Manchester, England with my eggs and toast. They are delicious (hot or cold!) and use common pantry ingredients. A discerning bean eater will notice that I used chick peas, but you should use great northern beans, navy, cattle beans, or white kidney beans. Do as I say, not as I do.
