Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned black soybeans
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1.5 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse and drain the canned black soybeans thoroughly to remove excess sodium and starches.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add cream cheese to the skillet with onions and garlic, stirring constantly until it melts and combines with the onion mixture.

Step 6

Pour in heavy cream gradually, stirring to create a smooth sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until completely melted and smooth.

Step 8

Add the Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika to the cheese sauce, and mix thoroughly.

Step 9

Gently fold the rinsed soybeans into the cheese sauce, making sure they are well coated.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on the edges.

Step 13

Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
