2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 cans (19 oz each) Progresso™ cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (2 oz)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
