  2. Meanwhile, in a medium lidded pan, heat the oil and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft. Add the bacon and fry until golden. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, apart from the cheddar. Put the lid on and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and cook for 5 minutes more.

Quick wins & tips

Make 4 indentations in the cooking beans. Crack an egg into each one, then cook with the lid on until set but still runny. Serve with sourdough bread instead of potatoes.
