Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned black soybeans
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1.5 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and drain the canned black soybeans thoroughly to remove excess sodium and starches.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add cream cheese to the skillet with onions and garlic, stirring constantly until it melts and combines with the onion mixture.
Pour in heavy cream gradually, stirring to create a smooth sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until completely melted and smooth.
Add the Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika to the cheese sauce, and mix thoroughly.
Gently fold the rinsed soybeans into the cheese sauce, making sure they are well coated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on the edges.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
