  1. Just served these bad boys at a post dawn service breakfast for Anzac Day. They were a hit and at least 3 couples asked for the recipe! The only change I would make (personally), would be to use onion powder in place of the onion, although I cooked it down with the bacon, it wasn’t enough cooking time to completely soften them up. But that’s minor!

    Great recipe. Evan got a large portion in the freezer. Easy to do & tastes fantastic. For adults this is way better than the canned beans! Thank you for this recipe.

    I made this on ANZAC Day 2021 when the boys left for Dawn Sevice at 4am. It was really tasty and tomatoey just how I like it. Yum.

    I have made this every ANZAC Day since 2021. My partner, son and I enjoy it for brekkie whether we have been to Dawn Service or not. I changed it up a little this year and used a spicy pasta sauce and it was REALLY quite TASTY. I think you could use any tomato based pasta sauce to suit your taste. This is now one of our ANZAC Day traditions. Thanks Zara for the great recipe.
