We always have this kind of dinner when I don't feel like cooking. I popped a couple of cans of Heinz Beans (made in England!) heated them up and served them alongside a baked potato, salad and corn on the cob. Yummay!
mppaul2, Yes the difference is the british baked beans (namely Heinz brand) are just beans in a tomato sauce with very little sugar, some vinegar and a bit of spices. The american brands are way too sweet, usually have lots of brown sugar, maple syrup and sometimes pork fat.

This looks great. Thanks for reminding me that sometimes simple is just perfect!!!!
I do love my baked beans! What kind of dressing is that on the salad? It looks so yummy.
Is there a difference with the beans made in England vs America?
