Canadian Bean-otto

February 25, 2015 by Samantha 4 Comments

Canadian Bean-otto is a quick and easy one pot meal featuring beans, beer, cheese and mushrooms! Almost like a revamped chilli!

Here’s another risotto! Woohoo! This one is super quick and full of Canadian goodness: beer, bacon, beans, mushrooms, and Canadian Sharp Cheddar. I think this should possibly be the new Canadian meal … ok, maybe I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but seriously, its stuffed with yummy ingredients and it’s so quick it could be your Monday night meal (you know the one you start dreading Sunday morning).

And to boot, you get to drool over Joey Armstrong’s photos again!! She’s so good right? We’ll have one more risotto inspired recipe for you all next week. And, it was the most popular flavour wise. Stay tuned friends!

Ingredients

  • 2 x 400 ml cans of navy beans, drained and well rinsed
  • 1 cup beer, Porter is my recommendation
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3/4 lb thick cut bacon, sliced into 1/2" pieces
  • 200 gr mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 thyme sprigs
  • 100 gr extra sharp Canadian White Cheddar cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a large pan over medium-high heat, about 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Set aside. Remove all but 2 tbsp of bacon grease from pan.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes per side on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Add beans and stir for 1 minute.
  3. Add beer, broth, and thyme sprigs to pan, bring to a boil and reduce heat to a firm simmer (med-low as oppose to low). Cook for 10-15 minutes until bean are warmed through and liquid has slightly reduced. Add bacon back into pan and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add half the cheese and stir until cheese is melted and sauce thickness slightly. Remove and discard thyme sprigs.
  5. Divide bean-otto amongst 4 bowls and garnish with remaining half of cheddar. This dish goes wonderfully with a light simple green salad and some warm crusty bread.

    Bean-otto ha,ha. I love the title and it also makes me sing the 'beans, beans, good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart' song. I totally blame my brother! I love all the beans and the beer and this would be a great filling weekend meal like you mentioned. Kellie from Princess and the Yard Ape.

      Thanks Kellie! Your brother sounds pretty funny with regards to the throwback humour of my youth (that will never fade!).

Pork Carnitas Burrito Bowls (or turn into tacos li Pork Carnitas Burrito Bowls (or turn into tacos like we often do) are by far my kids favourite meal and one where I don’t have to make a ton of different options.  I mean, less work for a dinner with less whining? I’ll take it! 

The 🍍 salsa is not to be missed. Tropical fruit is coming into season friends! A great time to switch up the usual for thrifty buys and satisfied tummies 😋

How can it be Sunday night already?! All I know i How can it be Sunday night already?! 
All I know is I picked puzzles with the kids instead of prepping for the week ahead 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll catch up tomorrow 🤞🏻. 

These Banana Buckwheat Donuts are happening this week for school lunches. Kids dig them. I dig them. Done deal. I just need a hot 30 min to make them happen. 

A friend also turned the recipe into a loaf so there are options out there if you don’t have a donut 🍩 pan.

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
