CHEESY BEANS ON TOAST



Cheesy Beans on Toast image

This is my favourite version of a British classic. You can't beat beans on toast for a quick, cheap meal! It is important to use Heinz baked beans or some other brand that uses tomato sauce as the base, not barbecue sauce as is the American standard. Most US grocery stores have Heinz or Batchelors in the International aisle.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) can heinz baked beans in tomato sauce (the small single-person size)
2 slices white bread
butter (to your taste)
grated cheddar cheese (1/4 to 1/2 cup)
Worcestershire sauce (optional- I prefer without)

Steps:

  • Put the beans in a saucepan and warm over medium heat until beginning to bubble.
  • Meanwhile toast the bread.
  • Once toasted, butter the bread and place slices side by side on a plate.
  • Pour the heated beans over the bread.
  • Scatter the grated cheese over the top and serve!
  • Some people add worcestershire sauce or hot sauce over the top at this stage. Personally I like it just as it is!

Provided by Frank Thomas

Categories     Bean     Backyard BBQ     Grill/Barbecue     Summer     Juneteenth     Fourth of July     Bacon     Maple Syrup     Vinegar

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ pound thick-cut bacon, diced
½ large onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 16-ounce cans kidney beans
½ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Place a large Dutch oven or cast-iron pot over direct heat and cook bacon until fat has begun to render. Add onion and red pepper and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Add the beans, including canning liquid, and bring to a simmer.
  • Add brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, molasses, mustard, hot sauce, and Creole seasoning and stir to combine. Close the lid and cook the beans until the liquid has thickened, about 60 minutes. Cover the pot and move to the cooler side of the grill, then cook for another 20-30 minutes or until desired tenderness.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a variety of beans, such as pinto, kidney, and black beans.
  • Be sure to soak the beans overnight before cooking them. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
  • Add some chopped bacon or sausage to the beans for a smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices to season the beans, such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings for your bruschetta. Some popular options include grilled vegetables, fresh herbs, and cheese.
  • For the cilantro pesto, use fresh cilantro leaves and basil leaves. This will give the pesto a bright, herbaceous flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil in the pesto. This will help to give the pesto a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Toast the bread before adding the toppings. This will help to make the bruschetta crispy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This BBQ Baked Beans Bruschetta with Cilantro Pesto on Cheesy Texas Cut Toast is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack.
