I don't know if you've made the cookies before, but I started a thread on them last year and they are fantastic!

Also - have you made the burgers before? They are on my "to try" list, most likely when DH is out of town, since is he suspicious of any dish that doesn't contain meat. :rolleyes: This week would be perfect for me to make them. I did see that they got great reviews on the main CL recipe site. TIA!

We made these cookies when Sweetpea (Amanda) was visiting a few weeks ago. We both loved them. We have visitors coming this weekend and thought they would like them. I can't wait to make them again!

I had never made the burgers. I couldn't find a post on them, but did notice they had good reviews on the recipe site. I saw Kristal's review. I really enjoyed them, so did DH! I never have good luck with burgers like this, they always fall apart or crumble. These didn't hold up as well as I would have liked, but they somewhat kept their "burger shape". They had a great flavor w/ the cilantro and chiptole mayo. I would recommend them!

Could you possibly post this recipe? It sounds lovely.

Sure! Here you go:

White Bean & Tomato Casserole w/ Bread Crumb Topping

Serves 3-4 as a main course

1 1/2 c fresh bread crumbs (recipe below)
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 15-oz cans white beans, rinsed and drained
2 14 1/2-oz cans diced tomatoes, drained, with juices reserved
1 1/2 t minced fresh thyme or sage leaves

1. Move an oven rack to the top position and heat the broiler. Mix the bread crumbs, 1T of the oil, salt and pepper to taste together in a small bowl.

2. Heat the remaining 2T oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook untilo fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, 1/2 c reserved juice and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the juices thicken, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste.

3. Immediately transfer the bean mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the beans. Broil just until the beans are piping hot and the crumbs are deep brown, 2-3 minutes. (Watch carefully to prevent burning.) Let settle for several minutes and serve.

Fresh Bread Crumbs
Makes about 2 cups

4 1/2-inch-thick slices stale country white bread (about 6 oz) torn into small pieces

Place bread in food processor and process until the crumbs are coarsely ground, about 1 min. Fresh bread crumbs can be refrigerated in an airtight container a couple of days or frozen several weeks.
