Who Knew Baked Beans Could Be THIS Good!?

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Baked beans are a British staple, they are sweet, salty, savoury and packed full of good stuff like vitamins n that. Usually we chuck them on some toast with lashings of butter and maybe a bit of cheese. This time though 'm jazzing them up a bit and sticking them in a pie with some other delicious things!
I first came across his recipe on tiktok, but I have changed it a little to make it my own. As a cost saving, I removed the fried onions and used chives instead removing the need to waste energy frying onions. You can of course add whatever spices, herbs, extra veggies you like to make it your own.
#bakedbeans #costofliving #budgetrecipes
To make my bean pie you will need:
► 2 cans of baked beans (i used branston 75p each)
►About 250g of ham off cuts
►A handful of freshly chopped chives or use dried
►3 hard boiled eggs chopped up
►Roughly 700g of mashed potato
►2 tsp of garlic powder
►1+1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
►Cheese for the topping (optional)
►Salt & pepper
Serve with some veg of your choice and good dollop of HP sauce

Who says flavour has to be expensive!
Tip for the mash - I usually cook a large pan full of mash. In the long run, it saves time and energy (both through the meter and mine!). So I am used to mash being drier than I like. This is easily remedied with the addition of a little milk - but be careful, it soon goes from a difficult to work crumbly mess to a disgusting slop.
I really don't know the answer to this one, and I appreciate how much energy a grill uses just to get up to temperature - but the extra crispness is so worth it if you can afford it. However, I wonder how close an effect you would get with a culinary gas torch, and perhaps even more importantly, how does the energy cost compare?
P.S. if you are batch cooking mash, unless you have Popeye arms, a potato ricer is well worth having - the larger, the better.
They are not a ridiculous price, but I am sure they can be found second-hand, especially as more and more cafés and restaurants are squeezed out of business.
Thanks for the tips as always Neil. I'll pin this as I'm sure my viewers will find them helpful. Yes, a ricer is the best way for smooth mash. I always use white pepper for mash as well, not black. It just works better for some reason.
@Adam Garratt A little nutmeg can make a change too - but you need to keep tasting as the difference between not enough to be worth the effort and too much is not that great.
Err... Being frozen makes anything taste worse.
@@forandonbehalfof4753 Hi, please don’t take this as a hateful reply. You’re 100% correct fresh will always taste better BUT… Adam created these recipes to help the novice, the hard working, the elderly, single parents and those working to a budget. He’s more than able to produce higher priced dishes but if you watch his channel he constantly refers to helping others etc his posts are intentionally aimed to help those who need it. He’s also hysterical; watch his scotch egg post.
Ps. Even if it’s frozen mash there’s nothing better than a good knob of butter and plenty of black pepper to bring it back to life 😉 Pleasure to meet you new friend.xx
@@Thenakedforager Errr..... Once upon a time I was all of those things.poor/novice, etc..
Don't worry: You wererent being hatey!
Tip: In charity shops, just after Xmas you'll probably find lots of new (unread) cookbooks.
Oh! Find out John Torode's way to cook rice: It's perfect and far cheaper than the usual method.
Don't know where you are but stores like LidlAldi (German) are a godsend.
Any spare change goes into the jar and when there's enough; get the next tool on your checklist.
Get a slow cooker. Biggest you can so you can freeze lots of meals (in bags/tubs/etc.).
Keep your fridge/freezer absolutely full. Fill any space with full plastic water bottles. Fuller is cheaper on the leccy.... Don't forget to squeeze water bottles before going in freezer as water expands into ice.
A little sesame oil added to normal/cheap oil when frying/shallow-frying can enhance the taste.
Mustard in your mash: It's a fantastic flavour enhancer.
Do you think I should change my "handle to "THE NAKED YOGIC LUNGER"?.......
It's similar to something I do but use a tin of corned beef, sliced and put in the bottom of a loaf tin, add a tin of baked beans and grated cheese, then top with mash and a bit more cheese and put in oven, and serve with veg and gravy.
Sounds lush that Dave!
For those that love a little kick, chucking some chilli flakes on top of the cheese will kick this into high gear. You can get massive bags of chilli flakes for about 3 quid from Indian shops and they last for months! Also, a wee bit of Lee & Perrins to the beans as well. Condiments can make so much difference to simple meals. My 3 main keep-ins for the cupboard are stock cubes (for when there's nothing but pasta or rice in the cupboard), chilli flakes and Worcestershire sauce.
Americans don't get brits love of canned baked beans because we eat and love such a variety of delicious beans here. Most are homemade or semi-homemade; new england baked beans. Bbq beans, white beans with ham, pinto beans, black beans, and Refried beans. Look them up. So delicious.
Branston beans I'm in
Elite beanage
I make a similar version of this quite often
Oh wow, bar the egg, I’ve gotta try this! Thankyou Mr G 💙💙🤗🤗
you're welcome mate
At the supermarket, it is worth checking the reduced price products.
Often are canned products that have been dented.
Getting cans of beans, soups, etc about half price usually.
Premade mash too maybe, due to it being on its use by date, but if you check the packaging it may be able to be frozen.
Just then put it in the fridge to defrost, for about 1-2 days in advance.
Proper winter comfort food!
Quick tip - Aldi and Lidl do ham trimmings for about £2-£2.20 and they’re really good. A good sized pack too - easily enough for 2 or 3 pies.
Thanks for that tip Simon, i'll look out for that
Errr.... Mr. Garratt; there are 4 things you must have in your kitchen....
1: Rock salt
2: Black peppercorns
3: Mustard powder (pref. Colmans)
4: Garlic powder
HTH
Morning Adam. Over here across the pond, we make baked beans. Brown sugar, bacon, not much else.
Homemade baked beans would be epic in this
Errr.... Mr. Garratt; Try buying Schabziger or Pecorino. Hard cheeses that last forever (expensive BUT....)
Hard to find but both add a new dimension to your macaroni cheese.
Use your (cheap) cheddar, some mustard (powder if poss), and some (GRATED) Schabziger or Pecorino.
THEN: Get your families/friends/relatives to cook together...........
Love the bargain Maldon! 😂
Errrr... After I met/stayed with the ex-gf (still bff) and her 3 horribles (kids/drop-kicks) her favourite refrain was , "There's nothing in the fridge.".
I would just say. "Let me try.".......
Want to try borlotti beans in non-tomato food? Buy cheap and wash (cheap) baked beans.
Slow-baked belly pork (oven, 24+hrs) rubbed s&p and scored is cheap and heats the flat, too.
HTH
Errr.... Mr. Garratt: Free tip: To get the juice out of a lemon; cut the slice off (the bit where all the segments meet); when you squeeze, the juice runs out easily and doesn't spray everywhere......
I've never made or heard of something like this but, boy oh boy, I can't wait to give it a try! I love how you encourage to use different veggies & spices. I think I might try this with a side of jasmine rice & maybe some roasted Brussels sprouts. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Adam. Wishing you & yours a very Happy New Year! 💜
Sounds good to me! I love Jasmine rice
In summary, it’s sort of a fry up adapted into a one-pot casserole.
Great idea! I'm convinced Heinz have been slowly increasing the juice to bean ratio over the last few years. Gits.
Soon we'll just get the juice and nowt else
Make this even cheaper using smoked tofu to replace the ham and eggs. I just made some baked beans and wish i knew this recipe.. I'm really looking forward to trying it soon!
Beans are also cheaper if you buy dried beans..
Had beans today with just some bangers on the side and fried egg on top.
It's a mess, it's delicious and just so good.
elite meal that haha
@@Adam_Garratt let's call it a cure for that matter. Nothing better than that after a long night out.
Looks a little belter that Adam 😋
Looks very tasty, must make it
Face Fodder 😆 I love you brits. Nice work brother !
haha love you too mate
Hey looked good!
Happy Sunday, we now know what you 'bean' doing lol , this is similar to the corned beef hash we do....... was the combo of beans and egg okay or was you trumping away like a Salvation army band? great to see you and our Mogs, give him some more ham ..... my cats love ham too. xxxx
Actually wasn't that bad. I did feel it the next morning for a bit though 😂
@@Adam_Garratt 😅🤣😂💥🌬🌪
🤣Eggs, cuz just not enough toots with only beans! And broccoli !💨 Am gonna try it though😉
haha you can leave them out if you are worried about ripping too many out. It makes a great first date dinner 😂
I see the Executive Chef is still in the land of the living.!!! That is really good info re not having the grey ugly hard boiled egg ring. Everything in Australia is also through the roof. It is really good you have this channel as we all are amused & get affordable ideas for meals - actually get ideas for meals period...........Where is the Executive Chef's merch?
Thanks Hailey. Yes he's still going strong lol. As for merch, watch this space, theres stuff coming in the future
Eggs in the USA are very expensive they have gone up in my grocery store up to 9.00 dollars and in my tiny family grocery store near my house they are 12.00 . 😞
Thats absolutely shocking irma! If you have the resources, it's worth getting a couple of chickens to produce your own fresh eggs at home. I'd love to have some but I live in a flat, plus I don't think mogs would appreciate it lol
Do you know that the best thing about your recipes Adam are that they are not written in stone ,like the ten commandments and gives me the free will to tweak it in different ways. Top quality nosh as usual.
I think that's how most recipes should be. Like a starting point. I think that it also helps novice cooks learn and develop, seeing what woks and what doesnt
Would love to try this, but the beans here in the states are appalling. The last time I opened a tin of Heinz was over 5 years ago :(
I've heard the beans in the US have a more bbq vibe, with molasses and bacon.
If you struggle to peel your eggs my mum said put a spoon of vinegar in the water and the shell comes off easy
Good tip that!
Errr.... Mr. Garratt; Though I'm not a recognised chef (I hide); I would recommend two books: Delia Smith's Complete Cookery book and The Conran CookBook.
Oh! Ask me about shallow-frying baked beans and how you experience a completely new (yumyum) taste....
Can't beat a bit of Delia.
@@Adam_Garratt Errrr....Ask (IIRC) Norwich City FC fans about her "singing".
OH! Baked beans! Try shallow-fried with sesame oil, fried chopped garlic, mustard powder (shaken AND stirred (ta JBond)), any herbs you want.
How about doing a video about buying/ using a slow cooker?
Next, find any charity shops nearby for all the unwanted/unused Christmas gift cookery books.
HTH
Really nice easy dish for newbies to do here and plenty of scope for adding their own touches
yep, it's a very interchangeable dish
Looks lovely but I can’t afford eggs like that as they are now around $5-9 a dozen depending where you buy them so I’d use more meat as it’s cheaper right now in the USA the whole country is wtf with eggs and the usual thing if it has eggs in it the cost is being passed on to the consumer 🤦🏼♀️
it's mental honestly. Someone else mentioned the same thing!
We’ve had a few issues with egg supply here in 🇬🇧. Mostly about supermarkets not paying the farmers properly.
But from what I’ve read in the US, it’s crazy right now. We’ll swap you eggs for cheaper fuel!
Branston beans are the only choice. Heinz beans are awful.
There are more and more people living in poverty sadly in the UK and hopefully uploads like this will help because some people do not realise how expensive a lot of processed food can be conpared to home-cooked dishes like these.
I do this now and then. I also add garlic to ham onion also mushrooms etc..I also do the same by adding curry spices.
Love that. Its such an interchangeable recipe
@@Adam_Garratt It is..Hotdogs are a lovely addition also.
Enjoy your "Buggering Off"....thats not for me, but the bean pie definitely is👍
Happy New Year Adam 🎉
Happy new year!
When buying smoked paprika, folk need to be aware that they are not all equal. I know that Adam understands this already, but It is basically* made from dried peppers and comes in sweet or hot varieties, and is smoked or unsmoked so please check the label before buying the one you like. Rule No.1 is that it is NOT the same as cayenne pepper which it resembles in looks but which is made from chillies.
*There's more nuance to it than this, but supermarkets will usually stick to sweet/hot/smoked/unsmoked.
I love la chinata brand. When I see it I always pick some up.
@@Adam_Garratt Me too!
No way am I making this for my husband as it’s winter and my windows aren’t being opened.😂😂
You legend adam ❤
haha cheers Lee
Adam I've always fancied trying a quiche a simple one to get me started how about it mate 👍
I have a tin of spam lurking somewhere in my cupboards so I’m going to use that to make this. My husband will think he’s gone to heaven 🤣🤣 Thanks for another great recipe.
Looks lovely i know i will like it..i will try this tomorrow and then i'm gonna try this with leftover chicken and then again with corned beef🤣Yummy!
Oh and top tip for peeling eggs, do it in the pan of water you used to cool them the shell comes straight off 👍
That looked delicious, going to have to try that.
Ham is not good for cats, to much salt messes with their kidney's.
Literally the greatest fart fuel in the world.
Hi Adam trying this today looks yummy
I think a slice or two of crunchy toast would go nicely with this 👍🙂
Aldi,s own beans are cheap and very good.
Officially adding "fart ring" to my personal vocabulary.
😂
I did lern Dollop today.
Improving with each of your vids!
Thanks mate!
good to hear brother
HAPPY NEW YEAR ADAM! XX Branston beans are far superior to Heinz! Might give this a go!
Happy new year Tina! x
Happy New Year Adam. Never heard of the baked bean pie, but it looks lovely, will definitely give this ago. Thanks for sharing, all your recipes.
happy new year Sheila! x
Have to try this! Thanks, Adam! May I toss a tasty, VERY low-cost bean dish at you? It's from my Italian side. Toss 2 tins Cannellinni Beans (with liquid) - 87 cents/tin - into a slow cooker. 1 tin diced tomatoes (preferably with Olive Oil, Garlic & Basil) - 97 cents/tin. Toss in about 1/2 cup diced leftover roast chicken, or BEST OF ALL 1/2 cup diced Pancetta or Prosciutto. You don't need meat at all, but a BIT is nice. Toss in a stick of butter, a few tablespoons of minced garlic, Italian seasoning, a teaspoon or so of black pepper... Cook on high for an hour, then cut to low for 2 more. Add about 1 cup of al-dente cooked Fusilli, Casarecce, Gnocchetti Sardi, Ditalini, even the TINY bowties/wagon wheels. (You want a compact pasta) and let cook another 1 or 2 hours. Enjoy with Parmesan. Less than $4-5 and you have a VERY hearty meal for 2 or 3 people.
That sounds delicious!
If you take the price of Heinz baked beans (without the stupid zed), and turn it into the equivalent litre price, the cost of petrol would be £3.26/litre. Who would pay that? Aldi's baked beans have exactly the same ratio of beans and tomatoes (51%/34%) as Heinz, have more in the tin and cost 34p! They don't have a weird Heinz taste, either.
corporate greed. I hope people remember these brands that shafted them during the tough times when people need cheap accessible food.
Question - where/how specifically did you get the ham offcuts 400g for 93p? If from supermarket deli counter - which one, and what time are they available and what specifically do you ask for?
I can't remember off the top of my head, but also worth checking places like home bargains as I've seen them sell ham off cuts before
Looks lush! And I love HP ! Im in New Zealand and still buy Hp and Heinz salad cream! Happy New Year Adam and Mogs xx
Happy new year!! Man I haven't had salad cream in ages, love it
2023 WILL be your year, Adam! Thank you for another great vid and good luck with your new venture! If all else fails; go to Mexico, cross the Rio Grande, go north till I tell you to stop, and you can help with harvest. Lol! Take care!
haha cheers Al. Love Mexico! One day I will visit and try the delicious looking food.
We Americans are only confused by Brits love of canned beans.
Do Brits ever make beans from scratch- baked beans, pinto beans, white beans? We eat many in the U. S. from bags of dried beans.
Oh of course. I don't think it's all that common for us to make them from scratch. I have done before, but we just like the simplicity of good old canned beans.
Comfort food! Thanks for something new.
By the by, here in the U.S. bush's beans & eggs are so expensive 😫
We have a bit of an issue here that the supermarkets are not paying egg farmers properly. They have inflated the prices, but won't pay the farmers more for them, which is causing a shortage. Greed from supermarkets as per usual
I do Beano Pie. Diced bacon, mushrooms and onions lightly fry add to tin beans. Put in pie dish. Top with lots of potatoe cheesy mash and bake until browned. Lovely.
Sounds splendid that Anne x
I hate to see anybody suffer, but if we make it through this economic crisis, we'll be permanently empowered. The more we realise we can do for ourselves, the harder for them to "sell" us convenience. Stay strong, stay adaptable.
Absolutely right!
Only just started to watch your videos on a recommendation from Chris and thank you I am really enjoying your videos
Welcome 🙏
Brilliant and so healthy Adam. The only bit i disagree with you is, IT IS a gastronomical genius ! Hi Mogs lovely to see you.
haha thanks fay, mogs says hello back
Great video! Bit confused why your eggs look green, my Burford Browns are very orange. Is there something wrong with your video settings?
Might just be the lighting
I suppose u could use chopped up hotdog sausages instead of the ham , more likely to have them in the cupboard already. I love a concoction dinner.
Absolutely you could. Sausages, hotdogs, roast chicken, meatballs. So many options
Cheers Adam and Happy New Year. We are going to bash this out on Friday.
Nice one mate, thank you
what a wonderful and economical recipe - thank you
My pleasure 😊
Hi Adam, baked beans was never a favorite of mine, however putting cheese on top it would make it better
Cheese for the win!
Thans Adam! House is gonna stink this week as im having a go at your bean curry on Wednesday and this next weekend now 🤣
I think we are all gonna re open that hole in the ozone layer! 😅
Going to try this one as looked delicious😸😸😸
Hope you enjoy it mate
I must admit I was scared at the thought of a bean pie, but that looks absolutely delish!!! Hope we will be seeing more of you now that you're retired 😜! Have a wonderful week!! ❤️❤️
We do love our beans haha. Have you tried them? I'd love to see you try beans on toast or marmite on crumpets
@@Adam_Garratt I will try that if you try my PNB and onion sandwich!!!! 😂
@@cherbeatTX59 I will! i'll do a video on it 🤣
@@Adam_Garratt ok so will I and I'll send it to you 😂😂 that will be funny! PS bonus points if you put dill pickles on the Sammy! 😂😂😂
@@cherbeatTX59 OMG...people thought I was insane when I said that was my favorite sammich! Glad to know I'm not alone in this universe! 😄
My son will love this!! Thank you so much Adam 🙏
No worries buddy
Adam, the best beans are Asda own brand..... thank me later 😮
I'll give em a go mate
Na not 4 me
Another great video. Thanks, Adam. Branston beans all the way. Won't eat any other. Thanks for the tip. On the offcuts of ham. Didn't know you could do that. My preferred bought in brown sauce is daddies, but home-made is best { Search Steve Owen here on YT for brown sauce recipe } 🙋🏻♂😊
Heinz prices are taking the piss at the moment!
They really are. Ketchup £3.50, pack of 4 cans of beans £5! I won't be ripped off for something that should be a cheap accessible store cupboard ingredient that many I'm sure rely on.
👍👍👍
Here in Greece Branston beans are more expensive than Heinz - and even then you need a mortgage to buy them as they have to be imported - (luckily there is a Greek company that does the BEST baked beans I've ever tasted for half the price). Thanks for the recipe Adam x
Why is everywhere charging so much for beans? I mean they should be a cheap accessible ingredient for people, especially now. x
@@Adam_Garratt I remember, as a student, eating cold baked beans from a tin. (Saved on electricity). Thanks for all your videos mate x
Had a similar dish as a kid, "Cheese and potato pie". Just beans, mash and plenty of cheese in the mash. Slices of tomato on top of the mash if you're fancy. Love a spin on the oldies.
Thanks Adam found your vodeo by chance but was very interesting and I love the way you presented it quite natural and was easy to follow I will try your recipe look forward to see more of your recipes
Face fodder 🤣 Iv got to cook this iv seen a few going around on RUclips one with corned beef in, others with bacon and sausage. But I'm moving more to to yours with the ham in it! Yum 😋 and my kids hate onions so chives is a great addition
It's a very interchangeable recipe. Great for using up bits you've got lying around that need using up
@@Adam_Garratt thanks Adam 😊
What a brilliant idea and so quick and easy, with lots of protein too. Most definitely going to make that. Nice to see you back Adam, happy new year to you and Mogs
What new devilry is this?
The best kind
BABY WAKE UP ADAM JUST POSTED
😂
Absolutely delicious!!! 😋😋😋😋😋
Great li'l recipe Adam! Made me think of one of my "creations"
Sausages cut up and fried with onions stir in a cpl of cans of beans, pour into baking dish and mix up a box of cheapo 3 for a buck Jiffy cornbread ( adding eggs & milk ) pour on top of beans & sausage & bake.
Cheap, easy & Yummy too. Big Love Adam, Hope you enjoy!
Cornbread isn't really a thing here in the UK, but I've always wanted to try it. I've thought about what it might taste like. Does it taste like corn but in cake form?
Nice and simple, thanks. I will probably use some Frankfurter Sausage thingies I have for the protein cos I don't have any Ham. I may also use up some Smash which I got as a 'just in case' for Christmas.
I don't know if they still do them but HP used to make good Baked Beans. You could of course use dried Canneloni Beans to further lower the cost and ad or not some Ketchup to compensate for the lack of Tomato Sauce.
Personally I think this is nice as 'Fork Food' and isn't the key to eliminating the gray Yolk to quench the Eggs ASAP. I also like to peel them immediately afterwards. I have an Egg Boiler and I am told on the Air Fryer Web Sites that you can use an Air Fryer which I think is daft.
Any chance of making one of your practical slants ona 'Cheese & Potato Pie' cos I havn't had one of those since I was Divorsed a long time ago.
Welcome to 2023.
Thanks for the comment James, yes the secret to no grey ring, is firstly not over cooking and then rapid cooling once cooked. I have seen the air fryer method as well, but I have not tried it myself yet. I might do a quick short on it soon.
Hi Adam, you always come up with the goodies, my lot will love this but without the chives …that’s tomorrow nights tea sorted…oh and Happy New Year too…👏👍🎉
happy new year to you and yours mate
Baked beans jazed up with the spices, I do that most times when I have them even just on toast.
Tin corned beef fella is another store cupboard gem, too 🤔
Same here, I like to add a dollop of butter into my beans too, and good shout on the corned beef
I used to make cottage pie with baked beans mushrooms
onions and mince, little bit of gravy, and cheese on top of the mash…. Yummy!!
Sounds great!
Another fantastic recipe Adam/Hilary 😋. I actually steam my eggs 🥚🥚. 8 minutes then into cold water. They peel cleanly every time. Take care 😃
Thanks Gerard mate
This pie looks gorgeous! I love baked beans! Brilliant recipe, Adam! Jack Whitehall is our favorite comedian! We’re going to his show in Denver in March! 😂🤩☺️
Tell him I made his mums mum bean pie 😂
This looks delicious. I don't know why anyone would make fun of beans, they are great in all kinds of dishes. This is the kind of recipe I like, you can adapt it however you want.
It's ridiculous isn't it. I mean we really do like them a lot, but that's because they are great
Nice recipe Adam, one I WILL be doing. Looking forward to more recipes this year. Hoping that some will help me with my weight loss program 🥴
Cheers Pete. I've got a few low calorie recipes on the channel already, but will be doing more so keep a lookout
Absolutely looks delicious Adam and economical too. Happy 2023 to you and mogs.
You too Mary! x
Looks good, I’m gonna give this a try, and I’ll share it as well 👍 thank you
Thanks Les, enjoy mate
Awesome video thank you for sharing. Nothing like a good dish of baked beans
Thank you!
