Baked Beans
This tasty yet simple recipe has been shared with us by Vicki from Thermomix Diva. It's awesome to be able to make your own classic baked beans from simple pantry ingredients. It means you are able to make a much bigger batch and control the sugar and salt content much more than if you were to use a can of baked beans.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "I've never made baked beans before and the children were complaining they didn't want them... but I assured them it wasn't like what they've seen at camp! They thought the baked beans were very tasty and definitely want me to make them again. They also looked much better than any other version I've seen before." - Anita
