CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE



Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake image

Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, beans, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar or Manchego cheese (from about a 6-ounce block)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. 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.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked rice and black beans. You can also use canned or frozen vegetables.
  • If you don't have any taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your bake, such as corn, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Serve your bake with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

This rice and black bean bake is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. With its simple ingredients and customizable toppings, this bake is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this rice and black bean bake a try.
