Ingredients
 

  • 3 regular coffee mugs to cook in
  • 1 x 550g can of your favourite baked beans (I like Heinz BBQ)
  • 100g diced bacon raw, or browned if you prefer that but I use raw
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup grated tasty cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tsp chives, finely chopped

Notes

  • This recipe is for 3 cups, but you can increase or decrease ingredients to suit however many mugs you wish to cook

Instructions
 

  • Line bottom of slow cooker with baking paper or paper towel, just to protect surface from the mugs scratching it.
  • Divide baked beans into 3 mugs, divide bacon between mugs also.
  • Add cracked black pepper to taste and a sprinkle of garlic powder to each mug.
  • Mix contents of each mug to combine, then place mugs into slow cooker
  • Add 2 cups of warm tap water into the bowl to surround the mugs (it doesn’t not have to reach any certain height on cups)
  • Cook on HIGH for 45mins with tea towel trick in place
  • Check that the contents of each mug is nicely warmed to your liking
  • Add ¼ cup of grated cheese to each mug, crack 1 egg onto cheese then sprinkle with chives
  • Continue to cook on HIGH, still with tea towel in place, for approx. 30 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
  • Enjoy breakfast straight from the mug, with toast soldiers on the side :)
