use those leftover beans!
Bean and Cheese Sandwiches
1-2 cups cooked beans — black, pinto, kidney, navy, whatever
1/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 tsp cumin seed
4 hoagie rolls, cut in half lengthwise
3/4 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup salsa
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine beans, tomatoes and cumin in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.

Transfer to a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir 2-3 minutes or until hot. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove a small amount of center of each bread half to make a shallow hollow and divide beans among sandwich halves. Sprinkle with cheese. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in oven about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve sandwiches with salsa.
