Name: Easy Brinner Beans Recipe | Homemade & Budget-Friendly |
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 2 tinned beans (I used butter beans and cannellini); 3-4 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tbsp garlic (crushed); 1 tsp onion powder; 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar; 1/2 c brown sugar; 2-4 tbsp corn flour; salt and pepper (to taste)

These beans are fabulous to have as a side or as part of breakfast. We call it Brinner (breakfast for dinner). They are very easy to whip up and keep in the fridge for several days.

In this YouTube video, I show you how to make your own baked beans. They are just like tinned Watties from the supermarket but BETTER! The Best Baked Beans | Better than Watties | Canned and Non-Canning Recipes

We make a fresh batch for Brinner and the other batch is for the pressure caner. We absolutely love these beans; they are so handy to have and husband really enjoys them as well.

They are so much cheaper to make yourself. It is even better if you can use your own home-canned beans instead of buying tinned beans.

Below is the recipe for the homemade fresh beans. Make up a quick batch in around 20 minutes and they will be a great side to have. I also use them in a great soup, and you can find that video here Under $5 Recession Meal | Feed a Family on a Budget

You can add any other flavorings you wish to this recipe. This just serves as a great base. Add bacon, onions and veggies to it to bulk it out if you wish.

Heat on a medium heat until warmed through and starting to simmer.
Make a corn flour slurry by combining the corn flour and some water together to form a paste.
