It’s time for a little cooking inspiration on Mamamia and what could be more inspiring than HEINZ BEANZ?
HEINZ BEANZ are a low GI food, low in fat, high in muscle-building protein and complex carbohydrates and high in fibre.
They are packed with protein, iron, vitamins and minerals and a great source of fibre, and even better – they are all goodness, with no added preservatives.
Last time we put a HEINZ BEANZ challenge to our readers (click here to see) it was clear that we are a community of HEINZ BEANZ eaters. We like them on toast, we like them straight from the tin, we like them with our scrambled eggs and we like them in our soups. It’s clear there is more to HEINZ BEANZ than just a spoon – they are an important ingredient in your cooking
So today we are going to issue a challenge to Mia, whose favourite HEINZ BEANZ recipe has got to be – simply from a tin. Leave us a recipe that includes HEINZ BEANZ and the recipe that gets the most thumbs up is the recipe that Mia will use in our next cooking demonstration. It’s up to you people – give us your best HEINZ BEANZ recipe and we will put Mia to the test
If Mia is able to meet this challenge Mamamia will donate $500 to Kids Helpline! So go wild.

When I was in Year 9, living up in the Kimberley region of WA, nearly 30 years ago, my class went on a self sufficiency camp to a local waterhole. Our Home Economics teacher (love you Mrs Titmarsh - you taught me the shepherds pie recipe that I still use today, and how to wrangle vintage sewing machines!!) had given us a recipe for breakfast that used ingredients that were non-perishable.
I give you "Pineberter":
1 can of baked beans
1 can of drained pineapple pieces
1 can of tinned frankfurters, chopped
Pour all in saucepan and heat over campfire.
Sounds like a bizarre combination - very 70's/80's - but so very delicious!!
I had an argument with my sister the other week about baked beans. She's a bit of a bossy boots and when I said that baked beans were a really good food, from a nutritional standpoint, she kept contradicting me. She tells me there is a lot of sugar in them.
I think that the benefits of the protein, fibre, and other nutrients outweighs the bit of sugar in the sauce. Especially as a fast snack that you might have half a can quickly warmed up as opposed to a chocolate bar. I find them really good at 3:30 on a cold winter's afternoon. My favourite are the English Recipe ones.
