Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

02

Step
10 mins

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and carrot; cook and stir until onion is tender and transparent. Stir in the sugar, red pepper and mushrooms and continue to cook until onion is browned.

03

Step
5 mins

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to blend. Cook for 1 minute then mix in the water and tomato paste. Season with basil and thyme. Mix in the beans and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a greased casserole dish.

04

Step
3 mins

Pour the remaining oil into a shallow dish. Dip one side of each slice of bread in the oil, then arrange on top of the casserole with the oiled side up. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.

05

Step
13 mins

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bread and cheese are toasted.

For a richer flavor, use vegetable broth instead of water.
Mashed potato or polenta can substitute the bread.
Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights!

    I didn't have French bread, so I used toasted baguette slices, and it worked great.

  • Brielle Bins

    Next time, I'll try adding some chopped sausage for extra flavor.

  • Aylin Stracke

    Freezes well! I made a double batch and froze half for later.

  • Savanna Lind

    I substituted cannellini beans for kidney beans, and it was delicious!

    So easy to customize with whatever vegetables you have on hand.

    My kids loved this, and they usually don't eat beans!
