  Great recipe. Made these tonight for the first time, having read all the positive comments. And yes, they are truly better than regular baked beans. As per some of the comments, I added a carton of passata (200ml) and used chicken stock. I also added a dash of worcestershire sauce. Definitely doing these again, but will make more next time, so that I have some for lunch the next day.

  Just made this...absolutely brilliant. I drained the beans before adding (it doesn't say to in the recipe) as I thought the sauce would be very thin otherwise. I think next time I'll try adding some celery and diced carrot to add to the veg content. A very scrummy quick weeknight meal!

  just made the beans, went down really well with the hubby, served with a few chunky home made chips and nice easy tea. Also used beef stock instead of chicken, might try chicken next time? beef was lovely though. I also left it to simmer longer than required, made the beans softer and the sauce nice and thick, delicious!

  Made this tonight. Impressed with the wedges as they were so easy and very tasty. Used Cayenne pepper Used an extra rasher of bacon, tinned butter beans and half tsp of chilli powder to beans and although I had reserves when I was dishing it up it was really good. Definately a make again and next time I will take the time to use beans that have soaked overnight taking the overall cost down even less. Every penny counts as they say...

  A very moorish meal but added a dash of tomato puree to jazz up the sauce. Gonna make more wedges as 8 is just not enough!

  Even better because him indoors cooked them, he was very impressed with the results (modestly)! Will try the addition of balsamic vinegar next time, as suggested.

  due to some of the comments about it being more a snack than dinner I added few cut up hot dogs\frankfurters in the beginning stage and is was a very filling dinner for me, my partner and daughter. It was very tasty will definitely make again

  Really enjoyed these. Added chopped chorizo that I'd been meaning to do something with in the fridge, gave the dish a delicious smokey taste.

  Excellent I used dried canellini beans (soaked overnight) - I added Worcester Sauce about 1tbsp and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Very nice indeed - didn't even need to go shopping for ingredients. My Australian husband was not impressed he called it 'war food' although he doesn't like the tinned variety either ! Will definitely make again

  Perfect comfort food on a rainy Melbourne night. I played around with the beans by doubling the bacon, onion and beans but using only one can of chopped tomatoes, the 200 ml of stock and about 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, which made the sauce nice and rich without being too runny. There's enough of the beans left for brekfast tomorrow, will probably reheat them in the oven with a couple of eggs cracked over them.
