I love this recipe. I cooked it in my slow cooker with a wee bit extra water for 6hrs on medium heat. Served it with corn fritters and broccoli as I didn’t have crusty bread. Blooming’ lovely.

Normally brilliant recipes on BBC. But this was so plain and lacking in flavour. Basically ham & baked beans.

Such a lovely dish. And VERY versatile, you could add new ingredients, take ingredients away. It’s great. Love it.

Very tasty meal, used thin cut loin chops and added 200ml water to the pot to stop it drying out too much. I think the toast is essential, thick cut slices from a bloomer loaf completed the dish.

Just cooked this in my electric pressure cooker. Omitted the ham hock (because I didn't have any). Only took 15 mins and its tender and rich. I added 200ml of water so it has extra sauciness to it too.
