Broccoli Cheddar Creamy Beans
Ingredients
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
2 - 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 bag frozen chopped broccoli or broccoli cuts
4 oz. grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for garnish
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Directions
Place a medium pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds.
Add the beans and broth and bring to a simmer. Mash about 1/4 of the beans using a masher or wooden spoon.
Add the broccoli, stir, and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring a few times, until the beans and broccoli are tender, 3 to 6 minutes (chopped broccoli will take less time, and broccoli cuts will take longer).
Remove the lid and turn the heat to low. Add half of the cheese, stirring until it melts. Add the remaining cheese and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve topped with a sprinkle of extra cheese.
