This is a dish consisting of baked or boiled beans stewed in a tomato-type sauce. Baked beans are commonly eaten during a cooked breakfast and are often served on toast with an egg. But they can also be eaten as a quick meal or snack at any time of the day. They simply need to be reheated in the microwave or on the stove top. Baked beans are high in dietary fibre and also contain good levels of iron and magnesium.
