Day 17 – Baked Bean Nachos















This one was recommended to me on my Facebook group by a person who I don’t know but fully respect for taking the time to detail a meal that I may well have overlooked and missed out on otherwise.


Most Mexican dishes use some type of bean in the ingredients so I was sure that having a little tomato juice would not negatively affect the overall taste of this classic cinema snack that is always excessively overprices (£3 for a small box- approx) but this Tesco credit crunch buster cost a grant total of just 60p (bargain)

The simplicity of constructing this meal even surprised me. Fill the bowl with the chips, cover in beans, add some grated cheese then put under the grill for 5 minutes and its ready to be served with a few dollops of salsa dip and Tabasco sauce.

The end result was a meal that has now taken the no1 spot for the best looking bean dish which is largely due to my organisational skills of the chips around the side of the plate (very Gordon Ramsay)


I can’t say a bad word about this meal, I consumed the whole lot while watching Skins and it wasn’t a struggle like the meatballs or noodles.
I’m always open to any further suggestions on future meals (mouth-watering or toilet grabbing) which I’m eagerly awaiting...
