This Baked Feta, Tomato & White Bean Skillet is the perfect dish for scooping up with your favorite toasted whole-grain bread. Juicy cherry tomatoes burst as they roast, mingling with creamy white beans to create a flavorful base. Chunky pieces of feta cheese are nestled into the skillet and baked until warm and soft. The result is a savory, creamy mix with tangy bites of feta in every bite.\n<\/p>\n

This cheesy white bean and rice skillet is the ultimate one-pan wonder. The rice forms a crispy golden layer at the bottom, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. Aromatic seasonings combine with tender white beans, while a blanket of melted provolone over the top brings on ooey-gooey perfection. If you like a little heat, don\u2019t skip the teaspoon of chopped Calabrian chiles.\n<\/p>\n

Marry Me White Bean & Spinach Skillet <\/p>\n

This Marry Me White Bean & Spinach Skillet is a different take on Marry Me Chicken\u2014a dish traditionally made with chicken coated in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce. By swapping in fiber-packed white beans and spinach as the main ingredients, we\u2019ve given it a vegetarian spin. You\u2019ll want to sop up every last bit of sauce, so serve this with a nice hunk of crusty whole-grain bread.\n<\/p>\n

White Bean Enchilada Skillet <\/p>\n

This skillet recipe takes inspiration from classic enchiladas, featuring veggies, tortillas, white beans and a cheesy topping. Instead of rolling up the filling, the tortillas are baked right into the skillet for the perfect weeknight dinner. We love tangy green enchilada sauce here, but feel free to swap it out for red sauce if you prefer.\n<\/p>\n

Cheesy Chicken & White Bean Skillet <\/p>\n

This chicken and white bean skillet is so easy, creamy and cheesy you\u2019ll want to eat it on repeat! With minimal prep and easy-to-find ingredients, it\u2019s the perfect weeknight meal that\u2019s sure to satisfy. Pepper Jack cheese and a jalape\u00f1o pepper add kick to the sauce. If you want to reduce the heat, swap out the pepper Jack for Monterey Jack and skip the jalape\u00f1o.\n<\/p>\n

Cheesy Black Bean & Quinoa Skillet Casserole <\/p>\n

This Southwestern-inspired one-skillet casserole is stuffed with quinoa and plenty of fresh vegetables. Sharp Cheddar cheese flavors the filling and adds a layer of ooey-gooey melted cheese on top.\n<\/p>\n

Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Quinoa Skillet <\/p>\n

Spice-laced quinoa, beans and sweet potato give this one-pan vegetarian meal its substantial and hearty feel. While the dish is simmering, put together a crisp side salad or simply chop up some avocado for an easy and complete 30-minute meal.\n<\/p>\n

Skillet Chili Mac <\/p>\n

Poblanos add a kick of heat to this chili mac recipe. If that’s not your thing, swap in green bell peppers to tone down the heat in this easy pasta dish, which mashes up mac and cheese and chili into a seriously satisfying skillet dinner.\n<\/p>\n

Black Bean Fajita Skillet <\/p>\n

You can often find presliced and ready-to-cook fresh vegetables in your grocer’s produce section. Use these to your advantage to cut down on dinnertime prep. Here, presliced fajita vegetables are saut\u00e9ed with canned black beans and Southwest seasoning for a quick and easy Tex Mex-inspired meal. Plus, this recipe requires just three ingredients, not including basics like salt, pepper and oil. You can easily take your bowl up a notch by adding some cheese, sour cream or another tasty topping.\n<\/p>\n

Cheesy Beef & Black Bean Skillet Casserole <\/p>\n

Think of this creamy skillet casserole as a one-pan taco. The corn tortillas crisp up under the broiler, adding crunch to go with the creamy filling. If you enjoy a bit of spiciness, opt for hot salsa or chipotle salsa for some smoky undertones. Tomatillo salsa works well, too, adding tang and a fresh flavor to this easy skillet dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes, the extra dishes at dinner can feel like a chore.
