Three Beans and Two Cheeses

6 servings

Vegetarian

tablespoon safflower oil
medium, chopped onion
green bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2  cups canned kidney beans
1 1/2  cups canned navy beans
cups canned chickpeas
14 oz. can plum tomato, with liquid, chopped
tablespoons soy sauce
tablespoons honey
teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
teaspoon ground coriander
teaspoon paprika
teaspoon dry mustard
cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
hot cooked grains such as couscous

Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Heat the oil in a small skillet. ; Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the green pepper and saute until are lightly browned, then combine with the beans in a mixing bowl along with the remaining ingredients, except the cheeses. Mix thoroughly; Lightly oil a large shallow baking casserole and pour the bean mixture into it. Top with the grated cheeses. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Serve over grains; the lightness of couscous is a particularly nice complement to the heartiness of the beans
