Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup Camellia Brand Cannellini Beans, rinsed and sorted
  • 1/2 cup milk, more to thin if necessary
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (yellow, white, or smoked)
  • Cajun seasoning,to taste

Directions:

  1. For the White Bean Cheese Sauce, soak beans in cold water for 6 hours or overnight. Drain, rinse, and add beans to a medium-sized pot. Cover with 3 to 4 cups fresh water. Bring to a boil, and lower heat to a simmer. Allow beans to simmer, partially covered with a tilted lid, for 45 minutes or until soft. Stir occasionally and add water as necessary. Drain and set aside.
  2. To a blender or large container (if using a hand blender), add beans and milk. Blend on high speed until beans and milk are totally smooth. Transfer to a small pot over medium heat.
  3. Add shredded cheddar to pot, whisking continuously as it simmers. Add Cajun seasoning to taste, if desired. Remove from heat and use sauce immediately, or store.
