Ingredients

I cant remember where I found this recipe, but I think its awesome.
Its so versatile and cheap to make, really filling and good for you aswell! And it freezes so you can make a whole massive batch!
1 can of chopped tomatoes, any cheap version will do,
1 onion thinly sliced,
2 rashers of bacon chopped (optional)
150ml-200ml stock (any will do)
400g (roughly) tin of cannelinni beans in WATER (you can use any beans really, but cannelinni is the most popular), just remember to drain the water before you use them
1 teaspoon of sugar

Method

1. Fry the onions and bacon until soft and starting to brown in a large frying pan
2. Add the stock, tomatoes, sugar, and seasoning. Simmer for 5 mins.
3. Add the beans and simmer for another 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to a consistency that you are happy with. Serve! :)

Why not try adding a glug of ketchup or trying out different spices such as cayenne or paprika. Its great on toast or with a jacket spud. Or you could add some cooked pasta, put in an oven proof dish, top with grated cheese and stick it under a hot grill until the cheese is bubbling and brown...yummy!
