Dressing Up a Can of Baked Beans
How to dress up a can of baked beans
This is another no-pride recipe. It’s basically a can of baked beans in disguise. No “real” cooking required, I let my microwave do the work. But it turns out quite yummy too. I thought of doing this because when I was in school, I remembered the rice stall had this sausage with baked beans dish which I liked very much. This is my lazy way of recreating it. I also added some lettuce and diced peppers for colour & fiber.

I love baked beans with fried eggs. Haven’t tried with sausages. I’m sure it tastes very delicious.
I shall try this combo next time :)
I have no pride too! Give that to me! :d
That would make a great weekend brunch! I love beans.
I’m not a big fans of canned bean. People here like to mix with with pork. So, I think pork and beans baked in maple syrup is one of Canadian comfort foods.
But, your picture has made me think to make baked beans for my hubby. He should eat more beans since he is a pesco vegetarian.
never tried baked beans with maple syrup. Sounds like an interesting combo. Maybe you can feature the dish with other meat substitution :)
What a great idea! The end result looks gorgeous and I never would have guessed it came out of a can!
This looks very hearty! I love beans and am known for occasionally eating them out of the can ;)
this is amazing, wiffy!! you are a genius!!! making this for dinner tonight :)
more of “lazy” than genius hehe … hope you liked the taste :)

yes, more microwave oven coming up … yes they are a time saver :)
What kind of sausage is that? It looks so cute and small! haha I like how you dressed up these beans. I have a can of this in the pantry I could use…hmm.

I think my boys can finished the whole bowl of that delicious beans ;D Will show them this page later.
This shall be on the dinner table tomorrow. Thanks for sharing …

Your version looks easier to make, and it is a balanced diet on its own.
I used to stir fry baked bean with onion, prawns, minced meat and fried egg.
sounds delicious. Hope you feature it. I must cook more “proper meals” hehe
Just what I needed to cook in the office pantry ;)
Definitely a nice way to dress up baked beans ! hehe
This is such a comfort dish! Like Mary, I like fried eggs goes with baked beans too.. this is really a dish of my childhood ;)
This looks surprisingly delicious yum! Thanks for the idea! So good for last minute meal prep!
I love recreating dishes I’m served outside the home. There’s nothing wrong in taking some shortcuts. Especially if it’s still a balanced meal like this one that’s likely cheaper and healthier than what I’d get at a restaurant :).
Hi, I tried this last night. Very nice and easy to prepare. Thanks very much for sharing.
Hey, what a great idea and sooo easy to make! You come up with the fastest and most creative concoctions. I’ll have to try this sometime. :)
U read my mind! I was thinking about this dish a min ago while commenting on mocha-rita blog!! Argh. now i’m really craving for this! Thanks for updating me about the ingredients =)
My grandma used to cook it with luncheon meat cut into cubes and scrambled. Brings back sweet memories :)
Made this for a quick lunch! Delicious, and the texture of the veggies really adds variety to the texture of the beans. :) Thanks!
