Beef and Beans Omelette Recipe

 

A Leftover Makeover

Have your family ever grown tired of eating a leftover meal? It is such a waste if we don't get to consume it. Frankly speaking, kids (and even adults like us) can easily get tired of eating the same meal again, whether it’s the meal that the family happened to eat last night or not. As moms, we don’t want any food to go into waste because food is food and every penny counts (Ahem! Pardon me for my practicality). As I promised, today I will be sharing with you a creative way of giving life to your leftover Beef and Beans dish. This is, by the way, a sequel to my previous post on Beef and Beans recipe. If you haven’t viewed it yet, please do so. (Just click on the link above to redirect you there.) Anyhow, if there happens to be some leftovers from your Beef and Beans meal, why not make an omelette dish that neither your kids nor any adult can resist? It is like giving your leftover meal a truly one good makeover on your table runway. No sweat to lose as this recipe is so easy to cook. 

Fun Fact! 👀

Did you know that water in the egg mixture makes your scrambled egg fluffy?  The heat from the stove turns the water in the egg mixture into steam, which in turn makes your scrambled egg look lighter and fluffier. Just make sure the cooking oil is already hot before pouring in the egg mixture into the pan for better result.

Now, let’s cook! 🥢

Recipe	Beef and Beans Omelette	Serving	2
Prep Time	5 minutes	Cooking Time	8 minutes

🍗Ingredients

For two batches of egg mixture

◻️ 2 pcs of medium-sized eggs

◻️ salt (for seasoning)

◻️ 2 tsp of water (optional)

◻️ 1 tbsp of butter

◻️ 1 tbsp of corn oil (or any cooking oil)

◻️ 4 tsp of spring onions, chopped (optional)

◻️ 6 spoonfuls of (leftover) Beef and Beans

◻️ 2 spatulas

◻️ Frying pan

🍗Procedure

1 Remove your leftover Beef and beans in the ref. Transfer content to a new bowl before reheating in a microwave for 2 minutes. You may opt to thaw the Beef and Beans instead. 

2 Crack in the egg in a separate bowl. Season the egg with a pinch of salt. Add in 1 teaspoon of water. Briskly whisk the egg mixture and set aside. 

 

3 Heat the oil in a frying pan. 

4 Drop in half a spoon of butter. Wait for the butter to start melting. Spread the oil and butter on the pan.

5 Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan a bit sideways to allow the egg mixture to evenly spread on the pan.

6 You may garnish the top of the egg with spring onions. When the scrambled egg is no longer runny and slightly wet, pour the Beef and Beans on top, near the center. Let the scrambled egg cook for a few more seconds.

7 Flip one side of the scrambled egg towards the center, covering partly the Beef and Beans. Do the same thing with the other side until most of the Beef and Beans are covered. Garnish again the top with spring onions if you like.

8 To make another batch of omelette, repeat steps 4 - 7. Make two Beef and Beans omelettes. 
Serve immediately. 

♨️Tips !

If you are not using a non-stick pan, make sure the pan is hot before you may pour in the cooking oil. This is to ensure that the scrambled egg will not stick to the pan when you start cooking it. Pour in a tablespoon of cooking oil for every batch you make, if needed.

Beef and Beans Recipe

Beef and Beans 

From Can Food into an Awesome Dish

Turn your ordinary beans in a can into a much sought after meal. If you don’t know yet, this Beef and Beans dish is one of the many easy-to-cook meals to make in no time. You may eat it solely or as a side dish to complement your overall meal. In the Philippines, dish like this is usually eaten with rice to complete a full meal. In my next post, I will share with you on what to do with your leftover Beef and Beans. 

Fun Fact!

Beans are a good source of protein. Other than this, did you know that they are packed with antioxidants that lower the risk of certain cancers and even combat the effects of free radicals that can cause sagging skin and other signs of aging? According to Webmd.com, beans lower the risk of certain cancers, such as breast, colon and prostate cancer. This is due to the presence of phytonutrients. These are natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that are commonly found in plants and responsible in propping up our immune defense system against diseases. To cite one, eating beans helps reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. This is because they are rich in soluble fiber (can be digested by the body) which then turn into a watery gel inside the stomach. The gel-like substance absorbs all the bad cholesterol (LDL) before they are fully absorbed by the body. Moreover, beans are rich in insoluble fibers (cannot be digested by the body) which are then collected in the stools to prevent problems like constipation.  

Now, let’s cook!🥢

Recipe	Beef and Beans
Serving	6
Prep Time	10 minutes
Cooking Time	20 minutes

For the ground beef Marinade

◻ 250 g ground beef 

◻1 clove garlic, chopped

◻ 1 tbsp red onions, chopped

◻ 1/4 tsp black pepper, ground

◻ 1 tsp paprika powder

 

other ingredients

◻ 3 cloves garlic, chopped

◻ 2 tbsp onions, chopped

◻ 2 220g (7.7 oz) cans pork and beans 

◻ 1 tbsp corn oil (or any cooking oil of choice)

◻ salt to season (optional)

 

Ingredients

◻ Spatula

◻ Big skillet or pan

◻ Mixing bowl

◻ Mixing spoon

 

1 Make the marinated ground beef. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, black pepper, garlics, red onions, and paprika. Mix together and set aside.

2 Heat oil in a big skillet or pan and sauté the garlics until slightly brown. Next, add in and sauté the remaining onions.  

3 Pour in the ground beef mixture. Stir fry for 10 minutes or until the beef  is tender and slightly brown.

 

4 Stir the ground beef mixture from time to time while you wait for it to cook.

5 Pour in the pork and beans and cook for another 5 minutes. Season food with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

👍  You may replace the ground beef with ground pork if you wish. 

👍 You may also add a bit more paprika to give your Beef and Beans a spicy kick.

👍 I don’t put salt anymore in this recipe because I find the taste just right without it. In my opinion, the pork and beans in can is already tasty and enough to add flavor to the dish. Just adjust the taste based on your preference. 

So, there you go folks. I hope this recipe has opened your mind to so many possibilities in which we can make use of pork and beans. Have you ever tried cooking this dish? I would love to know your thoughts.
