Though it’s still very hot in Delhi, but nip in the morning air is an indication of fall, and that means season of warm comforting soups , curries and other hearty food. I can’t say I grew up eating baked beans that’s why it is my comfort food, but I can definitely say that now that baked beans is indeed one of my favourite comfort food when you have homemade baked beans idea appeals even more.

A ladleful of luscious homemade baked beans over a hot buttered toast with a fried eggs is what my ideal breakfast looks like. For quite sometime I had used canned baked beans, but as I started cooking more and more, the idea of canned food stopped appealing to me somewhere. Making my own food and freezing it makes more sense now.

This homemade baked beans recipe from scratch is so easy that you will be wondering why have you not tried making it at home till now. It freezes well and you can keep it in your freezer for even 3 months if it lasts that long 🙂

I try to use fresh ingredients as much as possible and keep the flavours very simple so that you can actually taste the food, idea of masking the real taste with too many overwhelming spices has never appealed to my taste buds as yet. This dish also emphasises on the same, keeping the ingredients and flavour profile simple.

I have made vegetarian or vegan baked beans, but if you are a non vegetarian and eat bacon you can go ahead and add it, sunny boy tried that once and he quite liked the taste of bacon in baked beans.
