One of the BEST Pantry Staple Beans Recipes
This pizza beans recipe is a fantastic pantry-staple meal! It uses almost all ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards – most of which you probably have on hand. Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and healthy meals using a few staples you can rotate. I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep stocked. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple ingredients in my Amazon shop here. By stocking up on healthy whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!
What’s In These Pizza Baked Beans Recipe?
- Low Sodium White Beans: you can use these low sodium canned beans or make them yourself from dried beans. I usually always cook my beans from scratch as they have lower sodium and is really easy to do in the Instant Pot. If you do use canned beans, I would highly recommend using low or no sodium canned beans like these, which won’t alter the taste of this recipe.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Onion
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Diced Tomatoes: I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
- Low Sodium Pizza Sauce – I made my own pizza sauce by following my super easy 5-minute no cook pizza sauce here, but if you want to use a store bought pizza sauce I’d recommend a low sodium pizza sauce like this so there isn’t too much salt in the sauce.
- Bell Pepper: If you don’t have fresh peppers, these sweet roasted red peppers are a great substitute! I love adding them to breakfast bakes, sandwiches or wraps, and soups.
- Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this low sodium vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine. You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out! By starting with a low sodium broth or bouillon, you can build bright vibrant flavors and add more salt later if needed.
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Parsley

How Do I Make Pizza Baked Beans?
- Drain and rinse beans in a collander, set aside.
- In a Dutch oven heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 5 or 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften. Add the diced tomatoes, pizza sauce, pizza toppings, and vegetable stock and simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes so the tomatoes cook through.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the beans to the dutch oven and stir well to combine. Top with cheese, and bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese begins to bubble. Top with parsley and enjoy!
