Are you going to watch the Superbowl tomorrow?  I’m not.

But I think this recipe would satisfy hungry game day fans.  Or is a quick dinner idea for a busy week night. 

And it makes leftovers.  Cook once, eat twice.  Beautiful.

Salsa & Cheezey Baked Beans & Vegetables

Ingredients:

2 large Potatoes, diced

1 c Veggies, diced (I used about 1/3 c carrots, 1/3 c broccoli, 1/3 c Brussels sprouts)

1 can Beans

Optional: 1/2 c Real Cheese, Soy Cheeze, Daiya.  Shredded, cubes, diced, or crumbled

1/3 c Nooch

1 Tbsp Chipotle Seasoning  and/or any other seasonings you wish to add, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, etc. (I used Mrs. Dash Chipotle and a pinch of salt)

Salt & Pepper to taste (optional)

1 jar Salsa (I used an 8 oz jar of Pace)

1 c water (or a little more)

3 Tbsp EVOO, drizzled

Directions:

Dice the potatoes (small so they cook properly) and lay in a foil lined 9 x 13 pan (or similar).

Add the veggies over the top

Add beans

Sprinkle & season with Nooch (and/or real cheese), Chipotle, other seasonings, S & P

Add salsa and water

Drizzle with EVOO

Bake at 425F for 45 to 55 minutes, or until done.  (I did 47 minutes)

After baking, stir everything together, if desired.

Yield: Lots! Will feed a hungry family of 3-4 and make planned leftovers.

Recipe is Vegan (skip the real cheese), Gluten Free, Soy Free

This was super flavorful without being too salty, too spicy, or packing too much heat.

Skylar is only 4, after all, and although she can hang with the best of them with hot and spicy foods, I don’t want to send Scott into a fire-mouth situation.  She handles spicy food better than he does.

From my post on Being Practical, it was fun to learn if you think that you’re a practical person, or not. And in what ways yes, and in what ways, not so much. Lots of great comments on that post, including reduced price produce and Skylar’s head to toe “winter” wear.  Glad you got a chuckle out of that.

Questions:

1. Best thing you’ve ate or done so far this weekend?

Take a glorious long power walk with Scott and Skylar.  I got to catch up with Scott and trade stories from the week.

2.  Are you watching the Superbowl?

As I mentioned before in my Superbowl Foods,Plans, and Recipes post, no not watching it. I have to work.  And I’d rather watch paint dry.

3. Do you like salsa?

I think bloggers love salsa!

We use it as salad dressing.

Do you like salsa and how do you use it?

Have a great weekend everyone.  And may the best team win.

  1. I just want to tell you that I am just beginner to blogging and absolutely enjoyed you’re page. Almost certainly I’m want to bookmark your website . You actually come with wonderful writings. Cheers for sharing with us your webpage.

  2. The ‘print recipe’ feature/widget is the COOLEST thing ev-ah! I do not miss copy and pasting into word to take your yummy ideas home with me!

    p.s. I think i have more of your recipes in my recipe book than from anyone else. I actually make your stuff instead of thinking of making it like with other people’s.

    1. glad you likey the print recipe feature!

      and re the banana mashing…yea if it’s not ripe enough it wont mash as easy. If it’s a little tricky to mash, nuke a raw banana for 5-10 secs, it will mash easier then. Then proceed with rest of recipe :)

      And glad you actually make my stuff. Thank you for telling me! :) Made my day!
