How do you keep baked beans from getting mushy?

One culprit of mushy beans could simply be the brand, so consider trying an alternative if you find they don’t have a great texture. Remember to rinse thoroughly and let them drain properly before cooking, as excess moisture won’t help.

Should baked beans be covered when baking?

There’s no need to cover these beans – the oil, moisture from the tomatoes and relatively short baking time should prevent them from drying out.

How do you know when baked beans are done?

There isn’t a hard rule for when the beans are ready (they can be eaten uncooked, after all) but 30 minutes at the recommended heat should be more than enough to warm them, create a pleasant texture, as well as cook the tomatoes and garlic.

Inspired by Mexico – with a luxurious twist

Not a fan of regular baked beans, or looking for a way to switch up your Full English? Black beans are a common component of Mexican (and other Hispanic) breakfast cuisine that subsequently became a staple of brunch plates around the world. While the more traditional approach is to flavour with chilli, this version uses the truffle flavoured cottage cheese to add an extra degree of luxury.

Spice up your beans even more!

Want to add a little more heat to your black beans? Easy! Take a jalapeño pepper (seeded, if you don’t want too much spice), finely chop it and add along with some lime juice to the beans before you roast in the oven.

Make a full Mexican breakfast

These roasted black beans are the base components of several Mexican breakfast staples. Layer in some tortillas before roasting the beans, then add a fried egg on top and you have basic huevos rancheros. Alternatively, fry an onion together with scrambled eggs and tortillas sliced into chip shapes. Now simply add to the black bean and cheese mixture to create chilaquiles.
