Vegan meals made with kidney beans

These 15 meals put kidney beans to work across quick weeknight pots and slower braises. Pasta e Fagioli comes together in 25 minutes, while the Cajun Red Beans and Rice with Smoky Tempeh delivers 42g protein after 55 minutes of simmering. For a hands-off option, the Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili runs 505 minutes, letting tomato and onion build flavor while you're elsewhere.
