If you're short on time but love baked beans then you'll love this recipe. Create a simple 'baked' beans dish in under 30 minutes in one pan on your stove top. If you have a little more time let the dish cook away for an extra hour to enhance the flavors.
Ingredients
  • 3.5 - 4 cups pinto beans (28oz / 796ml can)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Tomato sauce (14oz / 398ml can)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
  • 2 tablespoons liquid honey
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
  1. In a wok or high rimmed skillet (preferably one with a lid), saute onion in olive oil over medium-high heat until translucent, about ten minutes.
  2. Turn heat down to medium-low and add remaining ingredients except for beans. Thoroughly combine.
  3. Rinse beans and add to mixture.
  4. OPTION 1: Heat until warmed throughout and serve. Total cook time 20 min.
  5. OPTION 2: (If you have more time). Cover with lid and continue to cook on medium-low heat stirring occasionally. For a single recipe, cook covered for 45 minutes and uncovered for 15 minutes to reduce. For a double recipe cook covered for 30 minutes and uncovered for 30 minutes.
Notes
When making a double recipe you may find the dish gets a bit 'saucy'. You can either cook longer to reduce the liquid (option 2 above) or ladle out the excess and use it the next time you make pasta or pizza. Yum!
