Substitute for kidney beans

If anyone's not keen on kidney beans, i substituted them for a tin of baked beans at the end of cooking time and it worked well
Simply fantastic

I added cumin powder to this as well which made it even better! Very easy to make, wonderful in flavour, fool proof... well recommended

What's not to like about kidney beans - they taste of nothing!!? I added worcester sauce to give it a bit of depth. Yummy!
