Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake
Ingredients
  • 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.
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1½ cups grated Cheddar or Manchego cheese (from about a 6-ounce block)
