Cheesy Baked Beans Recipes

CHEESY BAKED BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil with oven rack 6 to 8 inches from heat. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper, if using. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in beans.
• Add tomatoes, crushing them lightly with your hands, and their juices. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Top mixture with cheese and transfer skillet to oven. Broil until cheese is melted, bubbly, and browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with crusty bread or toast.

CHEESY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish combine green beans, processed cheese and dill.
• Stirring occasionally, bake until heated through and cheese is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE

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.

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE

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.
