How to Make Beany Melts

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a medium bowl, mash half of the can of baked beans with a fork. Leave the other half whole.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce to the bowl with the beans. Mix well.
  4. Arrange 6 English muffin halves on a baking sheet.
  5. Evenly spoon the bean mixture onto each muffin half.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the bean mixture and top each with a pinch of black pepper.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are heated through and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Alternatively, for a quicker grill option: Lightly toast the muffin halves. Top with the bean mixture and cheese. Grill on low until the cheese is melted and bubbly (approximately 5-7 minutes).
