Spicy Baked Beans
I’m back training – before work at 630am in the gym you will find me working hard (thanks Nigel my PT!)…. excuse me while I just polish my halo đŸ™‚
As a result I have been trying to up my protein content and have been adding this dish as a side dish in the evening . Whether you are training or not, You will want to make these beans, – a bit like mexican refried beans but nicer in my opinion, full of flavour, spicy, bubbling, and you can make them as hot as you like. Delicious straight from the oven with some tortilla chips as a party starter, with chicken or the next day reheated with eggs.
Spicy baked beans – serves 3-4 as a side
2 cans of beans of choice (please, don’t use Baked Tomato beans)…
1/2 medium Onion finely chopped
1/4 cup Sour Cream or Creme fraiche
2 tbsp chopped Jalapenos or 1 small chilli chopped finely
4 oz Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 Tablespoons tomato salsa or finely chopped tomato which has been deseeded
Some Tabasco sauce and salt and pepper to taste
Oven at 180C
Drain beans and lightly mash
Add all other ingredients, stirring to combine.
Spread into an ovenproof baking dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Serve as a dip or on the side with some mexican style chicken.
Any leftovers are delicious reheated and served with poached eggs the next day.
