Baked Beans

Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel
So have baked beans for every meal!

Ahh, hello youth. We meet again.
So I don't actually like baked beans - something about the texture grosses me out, I think. (I only say this because they're similar to peas and I LOATHE peas!) However, Spawn loves them. Probably because they're gas inducing and well, he's a boy. He lives to toot. Charming little turd he is.

This recipe is not my own, but I have tweaked it a little to suit our tastes. I was hoping that if I tweaked the recipe a little, I might just like these beans! And what do you know, I DO like these beans. I do, I do, I do!
This tells me it may not be the texture after all. Or maybe it's just the texture of tinned baked beans. These beans are different, I think. I'm not entirely sure, but I'm not committed enough to confirm my thoughts either way.

INGREDIENTS:
4 cans cannellini beans
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato soup (Big Red is best, duh)
1 onion, diced finely
8 pieces shortcut bacon, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbspn Worcestershire sauce
Approx 1 tspn Frank's hot sauce (or 8 drops tabasco sauce)

METHOD:
Rinse the beans then put all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for roughly four hours, stirring occasionally.

I intend on freezing a couple of servings of these for Spawn to eat on lazy days, and suspect they'd freeze okay for up to 1 month.

Enjoy!
