Serve these creamy white beans with crusty bread, spoon them over pasta or rice, or load them onto a baked potato for a really comforting meal.

I really like them spooned over a baked potato, tossed with pasta, or served with rice. Our mushroom rice is seriously delicious with the creamy sauce and a step up from plain white rice! I also almost always serve it with something to soak up the sauce, like a store-bought sourdough or a simple homemade tomato and basil no-knead bread. You can even spoon it over a toasted baguette and serve it as a hearty appetizer when you\u2019re feeding a crowd!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage-amp-reheating\">Storage &amp; Reheating<\/h2>\n<p>Let your marry me white bean skillet cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. It\u2019ll keep in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. I\u2019ve also found that this dish freezes surprisingly well! Portion it into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth, milk, or water if it\u2019s thickened too much. You can also microwave it in short bursts, stirring between each round, until heated through.<\/p>\n<p>This is also a great recipe to make ahead, and honestly, the flavors get even better after a day in the fridge. You can prepare it one day before you plan to serve it (for the best texture) and reheat using the methods above when you\u2019re ready to serve.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cp-load-after-post\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been scrolling past all those cozy \u201cmarry me\u201d recipes, this one-pot Marry Me White Bean Skillet is about to steal your heart.
