Spanish Bacon and Bean Hotpot

This is like a pimped up version of beans on toast adding bacon, herbs and spices to the mix. I went to the cupboard to get my tin of baked beans to discover that I only had baked beans and pork sausages, in fact I got to point of opening the can, looking inside and discovering sausages before I realised my mistake. I thought what the hell the sausages are in there I'll use them and all was fine. They went nicely with the bacon and the beans and this really is super dooper pimped up baked beans.

This is a really warming and comforting dish, lovely now those cold nights are already here. It freezes really well and has now become one of my freezer staples.
