Pizza Beans #SundayFunday

This is a wonderful Meatless Monday meal with tons of protein from the beans and cheese, with all the pizza flavors you love.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are cooking up Lima Beans today.......

Camilla of Culinary Cam is hosting this week and, informing us that tomorrow is Lima Bean Respect Day, invited us to share a recipe featuring these beans.  What's that you say?  Your family doesn't like Lima Beans?  No Problem.  These recipes are made with Butter Beans, Gigante Beans, Madagascar Beans, or Chad Beans.  A Bean by any other name still tastes as delicious.......

I started with sauteeing some onions and garlic.  Then I added some canned beans, oregano, spinach, and marinara.  Topped it with some shredded cheese and popped it in the oven.

I served it as a main course, with a side of garlic bread.  OH MY YUM!!  This recipe made enough for 3 of us to enjoy for dinner and 2 of us to enjoy for lunch the following day.

I used Butter Beans (aka Lima Beans)  in this recipe, but any white beans will give similar results.  Enjoy.....
