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.
Delicious!
How much smoked paprika did you add please? A teaspoon?
I think that’d be nice 🙂
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.
That’s so wonderful to hear Tracey, what a lovely tradition! And I bet it’s tasty and warm and filling to come home to 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback 🙂
