Equipment
- 2 Medium Sized Pans
- Wooden Spoon
- Spatula/Turner
- Sharp Knife & Chopping Board
- Cheese Grater
Ingredients
- 6 thick slices of Bread (see notes)
- 1x 14oz/400g can of Baked Beans
- 3.5oz / 100g Bacon, diced
- 1.5 cups / 150g Cheddar, grated
- Worcestershire Sauce, optional
- Butter, as needed
Instructions
- Beans: In a medium sized pan over medium heat add your bacon. Fry until crispy with the fat full rendered, then pour in the beans. Gently simmer for 5 or so mins until the juice reduces down and the beans are fairly thick. Remove from pan to cool slightly.
- Sandwich: Spread one side of each of the slices of bread with butter, then flip 3 of them so they're butter-side-down and sprinkle with cheddar. Top with beans, add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce (optional), then top with more cheddar. Add another slice of bread butter-side-up.
- Fry: Add to a pan over medium heat (you'll probably need to do this in batches). Fry both sides until golden with the cheese just starting to ooze out. Repeat then serve up and enjoy!

Notes
a) Bread - You want something fairly firm, don't use thin soft sandwich bread, it won't hold up and the beans will leak through.
b) Worcestershire Sauce - In the UK it's somewhat typical to add Worcestershire on your cheesy beans on toast, so that's why I use it here! If you don't have it or don't like it just leave it out.
c) Can I make this in a Toastie Machine? - Yep! This works great in a toastie maker, just gather the beans closer to the centre or they'll leak out.
d) Do I have to add the Bacon? - Nope, you can leave this out if you want.
e) Calories - Per sandwiches assuming 1 tbsp butter used for each sandwich:
