Here are 10 mouthwatering things you can make with a can of kidney beans
Vegetarian Lasagna
Kidney beans are full of fiber and minerals, making them a great stand-in for meat in many dishes. To make a delicious, vegetarian version of lasagna, start by sweating 1 chopped onion with some olive oil in a pan. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 thinly sliced bell pepper, 1 large can of kidney beans and 1 can of chopped tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes. Get some ready-made bechamel sauce, and start assembling your lasagna by alternating layers of the veggie mix, pasta, bechamel and grated cheese. Bake until the pasta is cooked and the cheese is golden.
