CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE



Cheesy White Bean-Tomato Bake image

For those of you who love lasagna's edges, where sticky tomato meets crisp cheese, this whole dish is for you - even the middle. A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato. Frying a few generous squeezes caramelizes the tomato's sugars and saturates the olive oil, making a mixture that's ready to glom onto anything you stir through it. Here, it's white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that's left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until it's as molten or singed as you like. Serve with bread and a bitter-green salad.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as cannellini or Great Northern) or chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 pound mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 1 1/3 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (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 and browned in spots, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as toasted as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for a minute or 2. Serve at once.

CHEDDAR BAKED BEANS

Another recipe from a singing legend. Remember Isaac Hayes? Of "Shaft" fame? He has a tremendous cookbook and there are so many wonderful recipes, I dedicated an entire cookbook for his recipes. There is nothing fancy about soul food, but it has been served to many famous people. Hope you like it. It has "store-bought baked beans to give you a hand to begin with.

BAKED BEANS, CHEDDAR AND PICKLE SANDWICH



Baked Beans, Cheddar and Pickle Sandwich image

My own invention -- an unusual combination! But, the sweetness of the beans, the sharpness of the cheddar and the pungency of the pickles work Really well together.

Provided by Dories Lori

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices deli rye bread (or pumpernickle)
1 1/2 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
1/2 cup vegetarian baked beans
1 kosher dill pickle, sliced

Steps:

  • Toast the bread, as desired.
  • Smash the beans down onto one slice, top with the pickle and cheese, cover and enjoy!
  • NOTES:.
  • MUST use a seriously sharp cheese!
  • I use Heinz Vegetarian Baked Beans, but the flavor of any sort of sweet baked beans should work with the sharp cheddar and pickles.
  • I eat this with cold or warm beans, but always solid cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and creamy cheese will elevate the taste of your baked beans.
  • Don't skimp on the bacon: Bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor that complements the beans perfectly. Use thick-cut bacon for the best results.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will create a more interesting dish. Try using a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the beans. You can also add some chopped jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, about 1 hour.

Conclusion:

Cheddar baked beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give cheddar baked beans a try!
