When you want some real comfort food nothing beats beans on toast. These homemade mixed baked beans are just perfect whether for a big breakfast, lunch or for supper.

Homemade Mixed Baked Beans

We have snow on the ground and a chill in the air here. It’s time for comfort food. Good warming, hearty meals and not a salad leaf in sight.

Ingredients

It’s all in the mix as the title suggests. Use any and all dried beans that you have to hand. They will add different taste and texture to this amazingly simple dish.

What type of beans

I’ve used a selection of dried beans that I soaked overnight before cooking. Remember to rinse them thoroughly before cooking. You can just as easily use canned beans and save a whole lot of time.

The other ingredients are;

Sundried tomatoes (oh that rich flavour!), garlic, onion, red and yellow peppers, tinned tomatoes, some oregano and cumin and agave nectar or honey for a dash of sweetness.

other ingredients roasting potatoes

Serving suggestions

Beans are perfect for this type of cooking and this simple recipe for homemade mixed baked beans is perfect for a filling meal that can be the accompaniment to almost anything from bacon and eggs (as I’ve done here for my All Day Big Breakfast) to pork chops, steak, chicken or just have them stuffed into a baked potato or on toast for total simplicity and great taste.

Here I’ve got homemade mixed roasted potatoes to serve with my beans.

Vegetarian

Yes, this is a vegetarian recipe even though I have photographed the beans along with eggs and bacon. Just proof really that what I put up here is really what I’m making to eat myself.
