The humble baked bean (which is actually stewed and not baked) has been around for over a century. No one made them quite like Heinz and growing up they were a constant staple at the dinner table. Here is a healthier version full of goodness and flavour. The beans in baked beans are traditionally navy beans but if you can’t find any (which I couldn’t find in Coles or Woolies) then cannellini beans work just as well.
