Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake Recipes

WHITE BEANS RECIPE WITH TOMATO AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sage and sliced garlic. Shake the pan so the garlic doesn't stick, but don't stir it because the garlic might clump.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 3-4 minutes or until the garlic turns very light gold and the sage darkens a bit.
• Add the tomatoes and salt. Simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes are shiny and their juices have evaporated; 8-10 minutes.
• Add the pepper, sugar and chicken broth, stirring often, and bring the broth to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, add the beans, simmer (stirring often) until the liquid has evaporated, 18-20 minutes.
• Remove the beans/tomatoes from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season, if needed, with more salt & pepper.
• Serve with extra olive oil for drizzling and a sprinkle of crispy bacon (optional).
• Enjoy!

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
