Slice the onion and add to a large saucepan with butter. Gently heat on the hob to sweat the onion in the butter. Add flour to make a roux (thick mix of the butter, flour and onion). Add milk (about 1 pint) and beat until it is smooth and thick. Add cheddar (or leicestershire) cheese to the sauce to taste. Add 1 tin of baked beans to the sauce. Add 1 tin of peeled tomatoes to the sauce. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and some more grated cheese. Bake in the oven at 180ºC for 40 minutes.
