Quick Dinner

We have puppy class on Wednesdays, so dinner needs to be quick. We both weren't very hungry before class, so we had a light dinner of beans on toast when we got home.

Wednesday's Dinner

Beans on Toast
This is so simple it's almost embarrassing to write about! I have to say, though - it IS tasty! Beans on Toast is a British meal/snack/recipe/invention where you make toast (which is pretty obvious) and heat Heinz beans. When the bread is toasted and buttered and the beans are hot, pour the warm beans over the top. The Heinz beans from the UK in the turquoise can are apparently the only kind of beans that can be used for "beans on toast."

Luckily, Heinz beans in the turquoise can are easy to find here. I've seen them at Cost Plus World Market, World Harvest, occasionally at Meijer, and also at the County Market on Mattis.

I am a bit surprised by the amount of information I was able to fund online about beans on toast this morning. This guy included photos, but I never knew adding cheese to beans on toast was an option. Another person offers very specific instructions here. If you've never had beans on toast, I suggest you give them a try. They're really good!
