Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Scrub the potatoes and dry well, then prick in several places with a fork. Bake directly on the oven shelf for 1-1½ hrs, until they feel soft when squeezed.

  • step 2

    After 30 mins, heat the oil in a pan and gently cook the carrot and celery for 10 mins until softened. Add the beans, tomatoes and paprika and cook gently for a further 5 mins until the tomatoes are softened and pulpy. Stir in 100ml water and the Worcestershire sauce, cook for a further 5 mins then cover and keep warm.

  • step 3

    Split open the potatoes and spoon in the beans. Scatter with chives and serve.

they’re known in the US – with a handful

of cheddar stirred through.

I added a table spoon of tomato purée to make the sauce a little richer, added the chives in at the end and stirred through and used smoked paprika that gave a lovely warm flavour. This was such a tasty recipe. I do think that hat the portion size would be mean for four people, I had half then the…

Erm... how are these beans "home-baked" if the recipe uses tinned? Or do the 10 mins of heat-up pass for baking? Recipe looks good, but will try with dried beans myself...

I realise this comment is 3 years old but it made me giggle.

Obviously it is a home version of 'baked beans' for the flavour of baked beans...rather than baking some beans >.
