Notes
- Make sure to use a pan that can be transferred to the oven too. If you don't you can just transfer the beans to an oven proof dish and top with cheese.
- If your sauce is too saucy, then you can leave it to simmer a little longer to reduce.
- Equally, if you think it is too thick for your liking, then add a splash of stock or water to loosen it up.
- Add some chipotle paste or hot sauce if you want a spicy version of this.
