These cheesy, saucy pizza beans come together on the stovetop in about 30 minutes. Made with canned white beans, packed with filling fiber and veggies, it’s an easy, nourishing comfort food dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 small bunch kale tough stems removed, leaves finely shredded
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 14 ounce cans butter beans rinsed and drained, or sub your fave white bean
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 1 14 ounce can pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese I like Daiya parmesan
For serving, optional
- fresh basil
- sourdough bread or garlic bread!
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler on high.
- Warm oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften.
- Add kale, tomatoes and garlic and cook 3-5 minutes more, stirring often, until onion is tender and glossy, and kale is wilted. Season with salt and oregano.
- Turn heat down just slightly. Add beans and pizza sauce, stir and simmer for 10 minutes until it looks thick and saucy.
- Sprinkle cheese on top and place under broiler until cheesy is bubbly, about 2-4 minutes - watch it closely!
- Serve over rice, pasta or with some nice sourdough or garlic bread.
Sauce drying out? Add a splash of water as needed.
