Cheesy Cannellini Bean and Broccoli Skillet Delight

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Garlic and Beans:
Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

2. Add the Cannellini Beans:
Add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the aromatic garlic-infused oil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through.

3. Incorporate the Vegetable Broth:
Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth, gently stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

4. Mix in the Broccoli:
Add the 2 cups of frozen chopped broccoli to the skillet. Stir well to evenly distribute it throughout the mixture. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and heated through.

5. Melt the Cheddar Cheese:
Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Season and Serve:
Remove the lid, season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve the cheesy cannellini bean and broccoli skillet directly from the pan, and enjoy your delightful dinner!
