Baked Beans Bacon and Onion Pasty with All Butter Shortcrust Pastry

Latest Recipe and or Experiment

ALL BUTTER Shortcrust Pastry which is cheaper to make but naughty to buy.

Baked Beans of Choice I like Tesco's own very nice but go off quickly.

Bacon used Value Cooking Bacon Pack did job surprisingly well but Bacon could be anything that does the job from Lardons to fancy types right down to dirt cheap.

1 organic onion chopped

Garlic Puree

Sprinkling of Red Chilli Flakes

Sprinkling of Red Chili Oil made of Olive Oil to add a touch of heat along with Red Chilli Flakes which theoretically could be hydrated beforehand in the Red Chilli infused Olive Oil.

 Cook up Onion and Bacon together evenly distributed so Onion takes on Bacon flavour, add in garlic puree.

Then plonk 2x small tins of Baked Beans of 1 standard tin of above into above and mix well and allow to cool.

Roll out pastry and fit into Baking container of choice I used a Pyrex Casserole Lid a bad choice but does job.

Pre cook pastry prick pastry and brush with beaten egg. If it shrinks don't worry, you are aiming for a fairly rough and ready pie but make it as fancy or precise as you like according to your likes.

 Let cook for 5 mins or till light golden.

 Plonk Bean Bacon and Onion Mixture flatly onto Pastry.

Then plonk elegantly the pie top and seal the edges. Pierce top to allow steam to escape.

Brush with beaten up egg so nice golden finish when out of oven.

Cook between 25-30 mins till cooked thoroughly let settle down for a few minutes, cut and enjoy!

 Serve with Green Salad or vegetables of preference. Cheese being added is also a good idea.
