"Australians love their baked beans. Most homes keep a supply of the canned variety (made by Heinz). They are often eaten for breakfast, or at least as a part of breakfast. They are eaten on crusty bread."

  1. I used a 375 gram packet for 4 bean mix and made as directed but because of the extra beans added a cup of water as extra liquid and the end result was lovely full of flavour baked beans with a rich thick sauce. Thank you threeovens, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #79 August 2013.I ended up with 7 cups of baked beans of which I have frozen 6. UPDATE - I defrosted a cup full in the microwave and then re-heated and served with toasted wholemeal/wholegrain bread for a great lunch, thanks once again three ovens.
