a lot has been written lately about baked beans. My
question is - do your baked beans in a can differ from
ours(u.k.)ours are of various brands( but heinz being a
universally known one) they are canned and in a tomato
sauce, to be served with an english breakfast or on toast
amongst other things.we can buy the beans dried for use in
other recipes but why oh why are they always in tomato
sauce when canned.? is it a law that everyone has to like
tomato sauce, needless to say i seldom eat them and when i
do i drain off all the tom sauce and mix with grated
cheese and melt together and serve on toast.

Baked beans are prepared in some sort of tomato base.
However, you can get a variety of plain canned beans
(cooked, salt added but no other flavorings or spices).

Now see, that's what the main difference is. "..on toast"!
American's don't put beans on toast. It's uncivilized. On
tortillas, on rice, on paper plates, maybe even on a hotdog
bun (w/ dog, as chili). Certainly, with cheese, in many
incarnations. But, never on toast. It just isn't done. 🙂

Hello Everyone: For the people who do at times eat can beans
here is an easy meal for you. The size baking dish you use
will depend on how many you are cooking for. Put a can of
beans in the baking dish. Take a can of spam and cut in
slices. Dip the spam in maple syrup then line the edges of
the baking dish with the spam. Put your favorite cheese on
top of the beans then cook in the oven until the cheese is
the way that you like it. It is good served with slices of a
garden fresh tomato. Have a nice sunny day. Amanda

There are some inferior brands of canned "baked" beans with
tomato sauce sold in the U.S., but proper baked beans don't
include tomato sauce. Can you get B&M beans in the U.K.?

Boston baked beans are baked in a closed ceramic beanpot for
a long time (5-6 hrs) at a low temperature. The beanpot
includes vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, and onion..

Beans on toast are not common in the USA, but we have seen
the Osbournes eating them on their TV show.

Hello Everyone: I remember my Mother often making the old
fashioned home made baked beans in a bean pot. To the beans
in the pot she added about four slices of salt pork, some
dry mustard, about one onion sliced, and water that was
completely covering the beans. They were put in the oven
about 11:00 AM and the oven was turned off around 4:00 or
4:30 PM. They were not soaked before cooking. If there were
any left over after the meal they were used for making bean
sandwiches. The beans were checked at least three or four
times during the cooking to be sure that they were still
covered in water. If they were not then water was added to
cover them. If anyone has a bean recipe please feel free to
share. Have a nice night. Amanda

Hi, Here in Toronto we have baked beans with pork and
molasses, no tomato sauce. They are very dark and very
sweet. Biff

Not always. Boston-style baked beans have no tomatoes. (At
least authentic ones don't - but the ones you find canned in
the supermarket may have some tomato in them.) Boston-style
baked beans should have only molasses and brown sugar and
spices and onions and salt pork or bacon.

Yes, in the U.S. there are many different kinds of canned
beans. But the ones that are called "baked beans" have a tomato-
based sauce because "baked beans" is a specific dish.
(Although "canned" baked beans are not really baked at all -
they are just beans that are seasoned Here we have, besides
"baked beans", many types of just plain beans in their own
juices - things like great northerns, pintos, red beans,
black beans, etc. If you don't have anything like that
available then I guess you could just cook your own beans
from dried beans and then doctor them up any way you like.

Quick and easy way to "dress up" canned baked beans (not
pork 'n beans). Saute chopped green onions, bell pepper
(only a few), celery, and a little chopped garlic in a
little vegetable oil until half cooked. Drain most of the
liquid from baked beans. Add sauteed vegetables, some dark
brown sugar, a little dry mustard, and a little
worchestershire sauce. Either bake in hot oven (375-400
degrees) about 30 mins or partially cover and simmer about
10 mins on the range.

Especially good with any barbecue.

i think you are thinking of different beans to ours. It is
not uncivilised at all to put our beans on toast, no more
than you putting yours on rice(YUK)
