    Tuscan Bean Tomato and Parmesan Casserole is simple to make, gluten free and loaded with protein and fiber. It's the perfect vegetarian one pot dish, but you can easily add chicken, steak or shrimp for added protein!

    This Tuscan Bean Tomato and Parmesan Casserole is perfect as a main dish or even as a side with quinoa, rice or pasta.  I've made this with and without the bacon and we love it both ways.  

    This is perfect for entertaining as well.  This is really THAT good.  Swear. 

    This is just 1 of the 300 recipes in my cookbook, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook. Go pick yourself up a copy, I know you will love it 🙂

    If you like this and the other recipes in my book, PLEASE leave me positive reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It helps to get in in the news feeds and search engines. Thank you so much!

    And if you are looking for some more healthy meals, you will love this Alfredo Spaghetti Squash, Eggplant Parmesan, Healthy Goulash and this Easy Baked Ziti!

    This Tuscan Bean Tomato Casserole would be even better with a nice hot cup of this Eggnog Latte, Apple Chai Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Chamomile Latte or even some Spiked Apple Cider or Slow Cooker Mulled Wine.

    Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

    Why You Should Make This Tuscan bean Tomato and Parmesan Casserole

    Easy one pot dishes that you can make on a busy weeknight are the best. They are true lifesavers especially when my young boys have CCD, sports practices and games.

    When my kids were younger, I would always try to make a "Meatless Monday" dinner or atleast try to have one night without meat. Now that they are growing a ton and eating so much, I am making much more meats even if they go along with a vegetarian dish (like this).

    I grill a bunch of chicken or steak at the beginning of the week and just heat it up with whatever meatless dishes I make. It saves a lot of time.

    Ingredients

    • 4 slices bacon I omitted

    • 1 medium onion peeled and chopped coarsely
    • 1 ⁄2 fresh fennel bulb coarsely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon rice flour
    • 2 15-ounce cans white beans, drained and rinsed
    • 16 ounces tomatoes chopped (canned is fine) I used grape tomatoes and sliced in half

    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

    • Fry the bacon in a skillet until almost crisp. Place on paper towels to drain. Remove all but 1 teaspoon of bacon fat from pan. Chop bacon and set aside.

      I love this recipe. I love that you have published cookbooks--so awesome. I make a very similar pasta dish but can't wait to try this sans pasta!

      This looks DELISH.... would it do well to make it in advance and put it in the fridge before cooking the next day?
