Chinese baked beans with minced pork
You will always find tins of baked beans in our larder at home. We have been known to just have heated up a tin of baked beans as a snack. But for a quick and economical meal, this dish is a winner.

Notes
You don't have to use THAT brand of baked beans. Any generic supermarket brand will do as you will be adding your own seasonings to this dish.
