Breakfast Beans

This quick skillet of pinto beans simmered in rich tomato passata is a fresh alternative to canned baked beans. The splash of vinegar adds a bright tang that balances the sweet, caramelized onions and earthy beans. It comes together in minutes right on the stovetop. Serve this savory dish for a hearty breakfast or weekend brunch alongside eggs and thick slices of buttered toast.
