1. Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake
When you’re craving ooey-gooey cheese but want something
more filling than a slice of pizza, this cheesy tomato baked bean recipe really hits.
2. Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchilada Skillet
Authentic enchiladas are great, but when you only have the
energy for a one-skillet meal (lazy enchiladas, if you will), this is the
recipe you want. Canned black beans make a great companion to healthy and
hearty butternut squash.
3. Rosemary Garlic White Bean Soup
Just one look at this creamy cannellini bean soup makes you
want to scoop it up with a crusty piece of bread. Talk about stick-to-your-ribs!
4. Braised White Beans and Greens With Parmesan
If you’re trying to get more greens in your diet in the new
year, this is the perfect vehicle for that. Swiss chard is suggested to go along
with canned white beans, but you can use whichever greens you wish.
5. Three Bean Soup
Enjoy cannellini beans, borlotti beans (also known as
cranberry beans) and pinto beans in this easy bean-packed soup. A squeeze of
lemon brightens up the dish.
6. Black Bean Vegetarian Chili With Spiced Yogurt
Instead of red beans, use silky black beans for a rich, luscious chili. Top with a spiced yogurt for extra creaminess.
7. Mediterranean Bean Salad
This mix of garbanzo, cannellini and kidney beans is a
great summer dish, but also makes an awesome wintery side to a Mediterranean
soup, like avgolemono.
8. Cheesy Masala Beans on Toast
Beans on toast is a British tea mainstay, but this one has a
South Asian kick thanks to garam masala for something more interesting.
9. Weeknight Cassoulet
Cassoulet, a French dish with beans and sausage, can be a
little fussy, but this simplified recipe still warms your soul with a lot less
effort.
10. Pasta e Fagioli
This bean and pasta soup is pronounced pasta fa-zool and
it’s a wonderful warming vegetarian meal. Use protein pasta for an even higher
protein count.
