Beans on Toast is Not a Disaster and the Weekly Menu

This dish is traditional comfort food in the UK.  I have read about it many times, but have never tried it.  I must say, it's pretty tasty and yes, comforting.  A great way to use up leftover baked beans if you have them.  If not, open up and heat some canned beans to serve over the toast.

I was inspired to make this dish while listening to the novel Jenny James is Not a Disaster.......
