Notes about this recipe

Made this with RG Christmas Limas. Definitely added more than 3 ounces of cheese (though too be fair I also may have used more beans than specified as well). C declared he liked these better than the Smitten Kitchen pizza beans (!) because of the crunchy crust. Will be a repeat for us.

I'm an outlier on this recipe. It didn't work for us. I was neutral on it, but hubby did not like it. The crunchy cheesy topping was yummy, but the beans were kind of bland. Mr. B said they were one note. I could play with the spices, but I don't think I will tinker with it.

This was really delicious w huge royal corona beans (pre-cooked in instant pot). I used parsley instead of thyme in the crumbs, and I thought 1 cup of crumbs was a lot. We had a small portion leftover. I’m curious to see how it is given comments here. Definitely would make this one again! Served w fennel salad - no bread needed.

This was very tasty. We loved the variety of textures in this. I couldn't taste the Parmesan all that much, but it was still yummy.

Delicious! This book is proving to be a real gem, everything I've cooked so far has been wonderful. Served with the kale salad as suggested. I enjoyed the leftovers the next day.

The title is right, it is crunchy and cheesy. Since another review mentioned the leftovers were not as great and because only one of us is currently eating vegetarian during the week, I portioned out one serving into a small dish and baked just that portion with the cheese and panko. The remaining ingredients went into the fridge to portion out for the week. On the next "bake" I'm going to cut or tear the cheese into smaller chunks and definitely want to use a shorter dish instead of a taller dish to maximize the crunchy panko topping. I served it with the recommended favorite Kale salad and the entire meal was very filling. Cooked on 11/16/21.

Delicious and so cozy on a cold evening! Both adults and kids liked it. Leftovers were not nearly as good though.

This was literally so good! 4 portions led to kinda small portions, but was good with bread and a salad!
