60 minBaked beans get a Spanish-inspired makeover here with sweet bell peppers, garlic, and a golden cheese-and-breadcrumb crust that shatters with every scoop.
Seasoned canned beans, chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic get mixed with ketchup and honey for a sweet, tangy base. The whole thing spreads into a casserole dish and gets blanketed with shredded cheddar and breadcrumbs seasoned with salt and pepper.
Forty-five minutes in the oven and that topping goes crispy and golden while the beans underneath bubble away into a thick, saucy stew.
This is the kind of dish that disappears first at a potluck and has everyone asking for the recipe.
Kitchen Tips
- Use fat-free cheddar as called for, or swap in regular sharp cheddar for a richer, meltier crust.
- Spread the cheese topping evenly so every scoop gets that crunchy layer.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes out of the oven so the sauce thickens up before serving.
