Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 475 degrees. Put an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the celery, carrots and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 minute. Add the beans and the hot sauce, and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the panko evenly over the top of the beans, then the blue cheese crumbles.
- Step 2
Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the panko is crisp and toasted and the blue cheese has softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with celery leaves and serve.

I should follow up that the leftovers have more flavor, but still needs extra Frank's poured on top. Since I don't know how to edit my notes, I'll clarify also that cooking the carrots and celery to soft is pointless because they have no flavor at this point. I'm going to try again and let the veggies only cook for a minute before adding the garlic. I think it has the ability to be a delicious dish, just needs some tweeking.
Followed the recipe exactly, it was just okay. It wasn't very Buffalo-spicy, even for my husband who can't handle heat. It might be better if celery and carrots aren't cooked until "soft" since it was a little boring that everything was same texture as the beans (panko doesn't add much crunch). We added extra blue cheese crumbles and Frank's at the table which brought flavor out more. If you suggest adding leftover chicken, that defeats the purpose of a vegetarian Buffalo dish.
Great recipe! I'll agree with cooking the veggies a bit less for some texture. Also, I'm not a blue cheese fan, but feta was a great substitution! Finally, I did need to top it off with a drizzle of extra buffalo sauce (and some ranch for good measure). With these small tweaks it was fantastic!!! Will be adding it to the rotation for sure!
I cut the veggies a bit bigger than "fine"; left the Franks's hot sauce on the table for those who wanted more. Everyone loved it.
I would not recommend. Besides the blue cheese and hot sauce it was flavorless.
This is my favorite recipe for when I'm hungry, tired, and want something delicious.
