well I love ordinary baked beans from a tin. At boarding school, they used to make a sort of shepherds pie, with a mixture of spam and baked beans under a crust of mash potatoes. I always liked that. the thing is to get the pork luncheon meat to infuse into te bean mixture!

If you are doing the slimmers world green day diet - you can make the batchelors pasta n sauce go further by putting a can of butter beans.

Dried butter beans I always find cook pretty well in a chicken or beef casserole if you give the mixture just enough moisture and say a couple of hours to cook.

I tried making weight watchers baked beans out of soya beans and some tomato stuff, but it was vile.

Sorry if I seem abit of a yob after those gourmet contributions.
