These baked beans really live up to their name, both with their time in the oven where all the flavours mix and mingle into a moreish taste sensation and with the gooey cheese, which you can mop up with the perfectly chewy ciabatta garlic bread. Due to sourcing challenges some of the fresh ingredients you may receive may be slightly different to what's pictured. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
