This is a great complement to Pizza Beans.

Chef's notes

The starch from not rinsing the beans helps them stick to the sauce better Broiling creates that signature pizza-style melted cheese with golden spots Ready in just 20 minutes - perfect for busy weeknights Add pizza toppings: pepperoni, cooked sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers Stir in spinach or kale for extra nutrition
