If you haven't tried this bean bake yet, you've "bean" doing it wrong. Lima, kidney, and pinto beans baked with honey and cumin make a sweet and savory side dish that could fill you up on its own.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This made a lot, too much for the five of us. Next time I'll scale it down. Love that feature on your site! How much chicken broth would substitute for the bean liquid?

This is a really great recipe! The only thing I did differently was to not use the liquid from the canned beans (I find it kind of icky). Instead I used chicken broth in place of it. Cooking time was perfect.
