How to Make Beany Melts
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a medium bowl, mash half of the can of baked beans with a fork. Leave the other half whole.
- 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.
- Arrange 6 English muffin halves on a baking sheet.
- Evenly spoon the bean mixture onto each muffin half.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the bean mixture and top each with a pinch of black pepper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are heated through and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- 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).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
