Day 24 – Baked bean chilli

Every morning on my way to work I walk past this very strange looking lady who follows my exact footsteps and when I get to my destination she screams “chilllliii beans” and then runs off at extreme speed.....very odd I know and this has been going on since day one of the experiment so today I decided to succumb to her wishes and make a baked bean chilli.

My shopping basked contained mince, kidney beans, rice, chilli mix and of course Tesco value baked beans...it’s very simple to make for those of you who have never made a chilli.
Just brown off the mince, add everything in the pan with it and put on the rice. The baked beans turned out to be a good option as the sauce replaced the tomatoes which I didn’t put in.
I did however over-grate my cheese which is always a real problem as for the effort it takes to store it you may as well just eat it so I decided to decorate the side of the plate with the remaining cheese.

Overall I really enjoyed this meal; I did put too much tobacco sauce in even for my strong tolerance of hot food. I was left with a sweating forehead.
Many thanks goes to the crazy lady who recommended me this one.

Day 23 – Beans & Super Sausages

Heinz baked beans with super sausages seem a mixture that is too good to be true. The promise of not just the frankfurter style small sausages but some real meaty pork sausages! But can they deliver on this statement?

I was immediately surprised by the size of these sausages and eventually came to the conclusion that some form of magic was used on the production line which allowed six of these monster sausages to fit inside the relatively small tin along with a good portion of beans.
The taste of the sausages were very satisfying with a nice meaty texture that really did make you feel like you were getting good value for money but leaves you with a nagging question in your mind “how did they fit all that in one tin?”

I have done a lot of research on this but can’t seem to find the answer; I can only think that maybe they grow when heated...hmmmm very strange
