Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add garlic and white and light green scallion slices, reserving the dark greens for later. Cook until lightly golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully stir in tomato paste and chile crisp, and cook for 1 minute.
- Step 2
Stir in the beans and salt. Taste mixture, adding more salt and chili crisp as needed (remember that the cheese will add saltiness, so don’t overdo the salt here). Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned in spots. If you’d like to toast the top further, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved scallion greens and serve.

Love all the cheesy bean bakes but this is the best so far. I didn’t add salt as I do try to watch my sodium and there’s salt not only in the cheese but in the canned beans. If you are used to a higher salt diet you may want to stick with the added salt. Which brings me to my other small change: one can each of navy beans and black beans. I normally use dried beans but was hot to make this ASAP. No regrets!
This is bananas tasty and fun to make. To avoid going to the shop in the rain I used chickpeas and Blackbeans, 2 tbsp homemade chilli crisp from yesterday and onion instead of scallions at the start, and broccoli to pretend I’m healthy. Following the comments added extra water, oil and tomato paste. Served with corn tortillas, salsa and guacamole. Bliss.
False. In the 1990s, the FDA asked the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) to look into the safety of MSG. FASEB concluded that MSG is safe. They noted that any ill effects were typically associated with large doses (more than 3 grams) of MSG that were consumed without food. While most people can eat a meal with MSG without issue, a small subset — less than 1% of the general population — may be particularly sensitive to MSG
I made this as written but halved since it was just for me. It don't was delicious. The beans were tasty and incredibly creamy. I will definitely make it again.
Really enjoyed this recipe. Served it for a small group and everyone raved. The chile crisp is the secret ingredient. I added spinach when I added the beans. I really felt it needed something "more." Only surprise was I tripled the recipe and there was just enough for nine people. I'd recommend increasing the amounts even for 4 people.
I’ve made this 3 times in 4 days. It is delicious. It’s not saucy, but since I wasn’t expecting it to be I thought it was perfect. I’ve been adding extra veggies and serving it with tortilla chips. I really had reservations about this one but Mellissa Clark rarely steers me wrong so I gave it a shot. Fantastic recipe
