Notes
My Top Tip: Drain and rinse the beans well. This helps remove the canned liquid so the pizza beans don’t turn watery in the oven.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Substitutes: Cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, or navy beans all work well. Use any pizza-style toppings you like, such as chopped mushrooms, spinach, beef pepperoni, or extra peppers.
Serving Note: Nutrition does not include crusty bread or anything used for serving.
