Baked Beans

Baked Beans

Baked Beans are the ultimate comfort food, after pizza, of course!

Serve these little beauties as a side with Oven Baked Sausages, at your next BBQ or with Slow Cooked Pork. You might like to try our Easy BBQ Sauce recipe instead of using store-bought (once you see how much sugar is in the store-bought you’ll want to try this recipe).

If you don’t have a slow cooker you can use a casserole dish and cook in the oven on 150C for 8 hours.

Slow Cookers are a great investment – especially during the winter months. You can get them for under $50.
