I needed something quick and easy for dinner. My husband said he wanted a jacket potato. So, I decided to make my own baked beans. This is a one pot wonder and store cupboard staple. You can use any types of pulses that you’ve got the in cupboard. I used canelinni and chickpeas.

Great idea. Been looking to drop my reliance on tinned baked beans for some time. You’ve given me the inspiration I needed!
