beans on toast

Simple British meal

Beans on toast is a simple British dish of baked beans in tomato sauce served over buttered toast.

It's a staple of quick meals and comfort food in the UK, eaten for breakfast, lunch, or a light supper: Too tired to cook properly—just having beans on toast tonight.

The beans are typically from a tin, most iconically Heinz.
