Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Made this tonight for tea. Kids loved it..
Made this tonight with a few little changes , absolutely delicious!!!
Changes:
Used 2x Heinz’s baked beans in ham sauce and 1x Heinz bb in bbq sauce, with a good squirt of bbq added.
Added an extra bit of Heinz tomato soup (the smallest size can)
Only used one tray of meatballs and a packet of Hans Ham steaks (3 in the packet) sliced into 1cm cubes.
Hubby also cut up some Old El Paso jalapeños on top of his for a bit of kick.👌🏼
Served with sour dough, pecorino cheese and fried egg.
Made this the other night and it was so yummy! I didn’t have baked beans but had a can of red kidney beans so I added some home-made tomato sauce and some bbq sauce to the mix. I forgot to put in the baby spinach but it didn’t really matter (I’ll remember for next time hahaha). It was an absolute winner and we have 2 containers left over in the freezer — just so delicious! The fam. is now calling it Cowboy’s Balls!!
Made this last week. So easy and very tasty. Hubby loved it.
First time making this for dinner tonight. The only thing I altered, was that I do not like baked beans in BBQ sauce, so used salt reduced tomato ones instead. So yummy and perfect for a Melbourne winter.
