Growing up in Australia, baked beans on toast made a frequent appearance on the breakfast table, alongside a jar of Vegemite. But on those nights when my mum was too tired to cook, I also happily ate this for dinner. While there is always a time and place for tinned baked beans, it’s so easy to make a far superior version of them at home. I love to add a bit of heat with some chipotle chile powder, a popular spice in the US made from roasted red jalapeño peppers. If you can’t find chipotle chile powder, substitute with dried chilli flakes.
