I heard this referred to in an old movie I was watching. I googled it and came up with this recipe:
www.food.com/recipe/british-beans-on-toast-376934?photo=219976
Is this something you grew up eating? Is the recipe correct that you use Heinz beans? Are they the same as Pork n Beans? When I hear "baked beans" I think of Bush's or B&M baked beans.

We eat beans on toast!
It's surprisingly tasty. I don't have a recipe.. I just use whatever baked beans we have, and usually whole wheat toast.

I didn't grow up eating this but my niece, who lives in New Zealand says it is a common breakfast in her household. I've tried it and it is pretty good. The only place I can find those particular Heinz beans in tomato sauce, is at my local Publix grocery store in the "international" section. |

Yes, we had (still do now and then in winter) baked beans on toast for breakfast or lunch. Sometimes even a late night snack. Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce.

The British Heinz baked beans aren't exactly like anything we get here. I love them. I'm not sure if I've ever tried beans on toast, though. I like the Heinz beans all by themselves. The 6yo likes them, too.  I get them at my supermarket in the little tiny British food section. |

I grew up eating baked beans on toast. My mom used baked beans in a can and then baked them all day with tons of brown sugar, bacon, onion, ketchup and mustard. yum!

I love beans on toast. I use any kind of baked beans and prefer it on any kind of buttered toast

Yes, I'm British and grew up eating Heinz baked beans on toast. They're also an essential part of a full English breakfast with sausage, bacon, egg, etc

I've had Heinz beans I'm assuming when I was in England having breakfast many moons ago. I thought they were very similar to Campbell's pork and beans, they had a tomato based sauce. I haven't had either in about 15 years but I used to live off of the Campbell's after college so I remember them well
Eta, I've seen Heinz beans at fresh and easy, but they have a little British section in my store.

My husband is British and this is one of his favorite breakfasts. I make him a traditional English breakfast on his birthday and he always piles beans on toast. They MUST be Heinz beans.

I was introduced to beans on toast when I lived in England. So yummy. We had them for lunch a lot.

Oh yes please! I'm an Aussie & this is a common breakfast or even lunch.
We use Heinz baked beans in a tin. If I have it for lunch, I usually put a slice of ham on the toast before piling the beans on.

I' ve never had them. I like beans and I like toast, but I don't know if I would like the combination.

Dang. I'm going to have to try this! I've never bought Heinz beans but I've seen them in the imported section of our grocery stores. They're pricier than Bush's or Campbell's. I bet this would be good on a hearty bread such as the sprouted wheat from Trader Joe's. It makes the best toast and grilled cheese sandwiches.
I may be heading back to the store tomorrow.

Aussie her and bake beans on toast are very common for breakfast, lunch or even a quick dinner. It was often a Sunday night thing for us with scrambled eggs |

This is one of the reasons I stay a Pea. I love finding out this kind of stuff, lol. I often forget we have Peas from all over.
I'll have to try this, I like beans and toast!

Sounds good to me, but I've not had those Heinz beans on toast. Would if I could! But seriously doubt I could find them. There's all kinds of international stuff since they like habichuelas as beans are called, or gandulas (pigeon peas), Heinz probably won't be on the shelves.
I've taken the petite white beans, mashed in a pan with sautéed onions and piled that on toast. Or even pinto beans or pink beans. All are pretty tasty when mashed and refried, so to speak. And of course, some hot sauce. Some cheese is nice too but not essential.
eta: and yum, those traditional English breakfasts are the bomb! yum! |

I grew up eating baked beans on toast, either Heinz or SPC.
Even better is a baked beans and cheese jaffle. A jaffle is kind of like a toasted sandwich, but enclosed so the filling doesn't fall out:
I also eat baked beans cold out of the can - a good low fat low calorie snack.
They're also an essential part of a full English breakfast with sausage, bacon, egg, etc
Or, as it's often called here on café menus - "Big Ass Breakfast" !

Oh goodness, yes. I don't think you can grow up British and not eat beans on toast.
I actually much prefer Bush's to Heinz' baked beans. I use the vegetarian beans.
I butter my toast; then the warm beans melt the butter. Yum. And no Worcestershire sauce; I've never known anyone who did that.
I had beans beside toast a couple of days ago (I sometimes do this instead of on top).

Another from Down Under - baked beans on toast with an egg on top.
Great breakfast, lunch or even light dinner in this house. Good for the diet as well - all that fibre!

I was just about to mention eating them in the jaffle maker but Aussie Meg got there first!
My husband forces us to buy the Heinz Baked Beans in Ham sauce only. Sometimes I sneakily buy the tomato sauce ones and tell him the others were sold out. Camping in Australia cannot take place without Baked Beans being packed.

American married to an Australian here. We live in Australia and I had vaguely heard of this referenced in British films etc. but never actually ate it myself until he suggested it one day. We like the toast buttery and then you just pile beans on top, yum! My daughter loves this for lunch on the weekends.
