Gonna repost my bangers and homemade beans from the other night

I actually made some beanz as a side to the bangers and mash I made for dinner last night.

I basically looked up a bunch of recipes for British heinz-style beans and improvised from there. I soaked navy beans in salt and fried up some onion, bay leaf, a jalapeno, and a cinnamon stick in fat before dumping in the beans to boil. The sauce was tomato paste, chicken stock and stock from the beans, ketchup, brown sugar, whole garlic, sage, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder simmered until thickened, then I combined with the beans and added a cornstarch slurry.

I was really happy with how they turned out. Was really surprised by how prominent the cinnamon was in the final product. It almost gave it a Christmas-like flavor, but I might leave it out next time for a more tomato-forward flavor.
