As my dear old granny used to sing to me when I was a wee lad, "Beans, beans - good for your heart; the more you eat the more you fart". She often told me I was full of beans, but I was only 51% beans. Now I'm closer to 100%.
Sorry Heinz, but we've been buying Branston for years - we think the sauce is better! The Lidl ones are, according to my wife, OK too. But I like the idea of making my own because you can control the ingredients that go into them. Also, apparently, they can be frozen, reducing the longevity advantage that tinned ones have.
Thank you, Mr Keef! I've often wondered if there was a simple way of making BB at home - obviously "simple" depends on the interpretation of the doer! In NZ we were brought up on Watties baked beans, now unfortunately just a section of the Hynze Gloncommeration. They say the recipe is unchanged, but us has us doubts on that score!
I used to love beans on toast, but find commercial baked have gone seriously downhill in recent years, both on taste and contents. More sauce, less beans, every time I open a tin. I've actually stopped buying them. So thanks for this Keef. Just checked - I've got everything I need - beans on toast tonight.
True facts here - my favourite beans are the Co-Op Honest Value brand. 27p a tin, but they send me 25p off tinned veg voucher every other week, so 2p for a tin of beans. And they're 52% haricot. Make your choices.
Love hearing your take on the classic! When no-one is looking, I sneak in lardons of speck, pancetta, or guancale! Not too small, no thinner than quarter of an inch (and about an inch long). (and if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike!)
Here’s an interesting question: why does tomato soup and the tomato sauce that comes with beans, spaghetti, ravioli all look orange in colour, but tinned, chopped tomatoes and purée have a much more reddish colour?
If I was going to this much trouble I'd probably add some bacon or suasages to the recipe. Otherwise I'd just open a can of beans. Fun recipe, though 👍
Some people have very elaborate baked bean recipes with tons of brown sugar, bacon, God only knows what. It's all very nice but I'm not going to eat that on a regular basis. Very often way too sweet. I'm used to UK baked beans, which I buy in the US as "Vegetarian Baked Beans". That's what they're called for some reason. They're also on the expensive side because they price them the same as the elaborate US-style baked beans and, you know, if it's "vegetarian" it just costs more. I guess my point is that it's almost worth making my own baked beans because there's no 35p alternative. Although maybe I should check Aldi.
Ey up our lad our goer Keef. Finally prayers answered! I said in your Jacket Potato video we needed homemade beans to give it an extra touch of flavour and freshness. Who needs a tin of expensive Heinz beans when you can whip up a batch of homemade magic? Get ready to elevate your beans game to 'bloomin' brilliant' status!
Hi Keith, Happy Easter 🐣 to you and Mrs Keith cook. Weirdly, I just had beans on toast ha ha. I really need to get one of those Magic knives must really cut time with one of those ha ha
If you shop at Tesco, which I know you do, try the beans from the same manufacturer as the flour you bought a while ago in a video. I buy their products all the time...*Stockwell*, cheap and good, beetroot and piccalilli, any of their products are amazing prices, it shames the big brands.
Looks like I gotta try to make a huge batch of this once! Here in Germany, you sadly can't get Baked Beans for any reasonable price. Cheapest I can get my hands on are currently about 1.45€ per tin - and those you can't get everywhere. Heinz Beanz are more easily available, though absurdly pricey, with 2,49€ per tin..
Norma or Lidl in Germany have a pack of four tins of Heinz beans on offer from time to time at a reasonable price, although the last time they had gone up from about €3 to €4.44. I have friends who love Netto's baked beans, but I've never tried them myself.

I was about to leave a comment about these being called "baked" beans while not being baked at all but you quashed my doubts in real time.

I love you Keef. I was the UK last week and couldn't believe the price of Heinz Baked Beans
As an expat living in Peru this tutorial is gold ty
Lovely in a pasty pie type thing
Those baked beans and toast look very tasty. Cheers, Keef! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
We love baked beans......thanks for video Keef ❤

Reminds me of the "bean wars" of the 1990s when own-brand beans went down to 3p a tin!
Wow!
With all the food you cook on this channel I can't imagine you're eating beans multiple times a week! You eat like a king, surely?
I hardly eat at all!
Keef is like a foodie Einstein!.
Its worth making because you can put into portions and freeze them
Love hearing your take on the classic!

Yeah, nice.
Good one Keef!
I put curry powder in mine , i love a bit of spice , take a look at the backyard chef you might like his channel. tks Keef
I do the same thing except with Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs.
You need to bring back your good lady, Mrs Keef Cooks
She don't wanna.
i eat sainsburys home brand baked beans they have lots of juice in them.
Potential dynamite there Keef. Good job😄
My favourite baked beans in a can are in molasses.
Indeed! I put molasses in ours! Yummy!
Here’s an interesting question: why does tomato soup and the tomato sauce that comes with beans, spaghetti, ravioli all look orange in colour, but tinned, chopped tomatoes and purée have a much more reddish colour?
Great question Jonathan, and I don't know the answer.
Also, Keef, why is the bottle of Hendo's deplayed prominently in the latter part of the video? I thought I might have missed something in the recipe.
I was going to splash some on. But then I didn't. Sorry if it confused you!
If I was going to this much trouble I'd probably add some bacon or suasages to the recipe. Otherwise I'd just open a can of beans. Fun recipe, though 👍
Asda 25p
I THINK YOU ARE 51% FULL OF NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE IN THIS VIDEO.
I know you are 100% wrong.
I just do beans in the crock pot
Baked version next please Keef
Baked beans are a staple at bbqs here in Oklahoma! Thank you for this recipe!
Bean - Means - Heinz.. Yup Ideal for Breakfast Brunch Dinner Tea and Supper.
That make of Tomato is also getting daft.

Great video Keef as usual. I really dislike Tesco but I can't think why. There food doesn't seem as good as the others.
Not worth it
Your words
Totally worth it since Brexit no baked beans in the north of Spain
You are my hero
Thank you so much😊

0:44 -- Every time I watch one your videos, I think 'Keef is full of beans'. I'm glad that you agree. 😉

I looked up that Stockwell brand a while ago. It's actually T. E. Stockwell & Co and that's where *Tesco* comes from!

@@c.v.yardley The Lidl offer is exactly where I bought my last 16 tins! Gotta try the Netto one's though, thank you.
Keef , have you tried making Boston baked beans. I think you will like the challenge. Cheers Albert Down under 🦘
Nope, never done that for a video...it's on my list
