A classic, simple British dish that is served for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 can Heinz Beans (made in England) 415 g/14.6 oz
  • 3 slices bread
  • 1 tsp butter (optional)
US Customary - Metric

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.

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.
