I loved baked beans, but not so happy with all the sugar that is added - the low sugar variety just don't taste nice to me!
So here's a healthy version of baked beans - I make a huge batch and freeze them in batches of 2 portions. Easily defrosted overnight and added to breakfast (as I did this morning!) 408 calories for this breakfast!
Despite the mention of Tabasco, paprika and lots of mustard, the beans have a nice "kick" to them, but aren't hot or spicy.
