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. We’ve replaced the sweetcorn in this recipe with baby spinach leaves due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

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