[Cazzabelle]

Hi gang i did slimming world about 3-4 years ago and lost 3.5 stone. A stone of that has krept back on so joing again on Wednesday

I have already made up and frozed, beef ragout, chicken and potato curry and Kheema curry. So come wendesday i can pick it up straight away.

Just going through my cupboards and I have the world of tinned mixed beans, some plain and some in chillisauce.

Anyone have any recipe ideas?

Thanks in advance

I like making mixed beans into soups as well, or a bean chilli. You could also just bung them into a casserole with other veg and meat if you're using it.
I'm not sure if you'd have to syn them if you did this, but you could make a dip blending the beans with some lemon juice, garlic, yoghurt etc.

Id fry off (fry light) onions, add some chili powder - fry for another min then add mixed beans & tin of chopped toms, tin of baked beans and simmer for 20 mins - hay presto free tasty chili x

That sounds really tasty might give that a go.

I made a lush chilli tonight with some mixed beans, peppers, onions, mushrooms, courgettes and so on. It was absolitely delicious - so filling and I still have three batches left in the fridge and freezer!
Had with a huge salad to make it EE, but could have brown rice too x

My daughter wants to make a bean casserole tomorrow so I am going to throw together fried onions, tin mixed beans, tin chopped tomatoes, tin baked beans and a tin of mushy peas, season and see what happens!

Will let you all know what the result in, but it's the mushy pea curry recipes without the curry powder really and that is lovely!
