    Baked beans are the devil's food.
    Beans in any other format other than tinned baked beans in tomato sauce are absolutely wonderful.
    Baked beans please fcuk off and don't even touch my food with your horrible sauce.

    I really don't know why I feel like this about BBs

    No. I hated them as a child, too, but was never forced to eat them. I was a very fussy eater and I now eat most of what I would have refused but I just can't get over baked beans, even though there's nothing in there that I don't like, ingredients-wise.

    I have a lot of people in my life that hate Baked beans.
    Its the sauce they dont seem to like. Too sweet or something
    I am the outsider for liking for them :pac:.
    Love to put cheese and chilli in them. But i will eat them plain too.

    Baked beans and mash for the win :pac:

    Baked beans on toast is a handy one for me if I want a warm breakfast or lunch. With a little cheese if I'm feeling decadent.

    I also love baked beans with a fry. I can't eat egg, so baked beans provide some variation along with my sausages and rashers. I can't dip my sausages in a dippy egg yolk, but I'll settle for dipping it in the bean sauce!

    Baked beans sausage and mash! Amazing

    Baked beans cheese and toast is good too.

    Heinz sugar free are my favourite

    i know a guy who when presented with beans will first scrape them off onto a sideplate and then take a napkin and proceed to clean the bean area of the plate to a high sheen before completing his meal.

    i on the other hand will heat them off a whores sore

    I've tried sugar free, but I'm not a big fan.

    I just go with the Tesco brand these days. Very little in the difference between them and the name brands. Slightly more sauce maybe, but that's about it. And much cheaper.

    The original heinz is far too sweet now.

    I love baked beans over a baked potato with grated cheese on top and crisp streaky rashers on the side :)

    I also love baked beans with a teaspoon of curry powder stirred in, on toast.

    I love them!

    I find the Lidl and Aldi brands very good.

    Not too keen on microwaving them though, heated slowly on the stove is the way to go.

    OP, do you like the Cool Beanz brand? The sauce isn't as garish as the canned variety.

    I heat them on the hob too, and let the sauce reduce until it's thick and intense.

    If I'm having beans on toast, I'll spread the toast with Marmite first :pac:

    Oh yeah, I'd only ever heat them on the hob! Never in the microwave.

    I like to heat mine for a while too. The OH doesn't like to heat his for as long... if we're ever sharing a batch, he always has to take his out of the pot first and I let mine heat for longer.

    Same here. I hate leaving even the tiniest trace of anything in a tin, so always put a small bit of water in ad swirl it around to get all the last bits of sauce out, so this makes it a bit runnier too. By heating slowly for a longer time in the pan it reduces the sauce down a bit and the beans are a bit softer too.

    Tried them and quite liked them - not enough beans, though.
    Is that brand still around?

    I enjoy baked beans hot or cold.
    Curried beans being a favourite but hard to find them now.
    Like them (standard or curried) on a full irish breakfast with a dusting of salt.

    Cheap chips drenched in salt and vingear and some bean juice making them soggy is god's work.

    Beans on toast.

    Beans on a fry up mixing with a runny egg yolk and meats.

    Beans beans beans.
