bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread offers more fiber and nutrients.

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier while margarine is often less expensive.

Open the can of baked beans using a manual can opener.

Pour the beans into a pot and set it on low heat to warm them up, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Toast the white bread in a toaster until medium brown.

Wash and scrub the jalapeno, then slice it into pieces.

Once the toast is ready, remove it from the toaster.

Butter the toast with softened unsalted butter.

Spoon the warmed baked beans onto the buttered toast, pushing them to the edge to ensure every bite has beans and juice.

Season the beans with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

For the Texas version, repeat the process with ranch style beans instead of baked beans.
