  I was wondering what do as a side dish with this, but in the end it didn't need anything as it was very filling on its own. Simple, tasty, filling and healthy - great!

  This sounds lovely, but is quite high in calories. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to lower the calories?

  simple and nutritious! Yes the cals are hairly high but there is a lot of goodness in all the ingredients and it tastes fab! Perfect for underweight and growing daughter and much better than sop bought beans. just leave out the sour cream and use less sugar if you want to cut down on kcals xxxxx

  Really tasty easy supper. I like to add a little chili or ground coriander for extra spice. Make sure your onions go really sticky before you add the beans and tomatos.

  Just made the beans for a shared lunch and they were really tasty. Would go well with the sweet potatoes, so will try with those next time.

  Very very good, I baked my sweet potato in the oven for just over an hour but probably needs no more than an hour at 200c. I also used low fat natural yogurt. I love meat but will be doing this as part of my monthly menu. I sweet spud is enough but I could have eaten 2.

  Very quick and easy to make. Used 1 can of cannelloni beans and 1 can of black beans, and low fat soured cream. Four adults ate it and everyone liked it a lot. Cheap, easy, healthy, and ... different ;)

  This was ok as an easy store hearty cupboard stand by and made LOADS. we had left overs. It tasted ok, but I won't rush to make it again. Instead of baking them, I made sweet potato wedges by slicing into wedges, coating in 1tbsp veg oil with paprika and salt, and putting in oven at 180fan whilst I made the beans. I added a couple of sticks of celery with the onion which added a nice crunch, and followed gidgierocks suggestion of adding a pinch of chill, and a squeeze of tomato purée. The sweet potato wedges were great, but i didn't think the beans were very exciting.

  Delicious! Half a medium sized potato was enough for me, served it with left over tinned baked beans so I only really followed the recipe for microwave times but a great idea to use sweet potatoes anyway!
