Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp loaf Italian bread(18 inch), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
  • 1 can crushed red pepper
  • 8 can slices OSCAR MAYER Butcher Thick Cut Hickory Smoked Bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 can large onion, chopped
  • 2 cup (15 oz. each) cannellini beans, rinsed

  1. Heat oven to 400ºF. Spread bread onto baking sheet; drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. cheese and crushed pepper. Bake 10 min.
  2. Meanwhile, cook and stir bacon in large saucepan on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings from pan.
