Cheap doesn't have to be boring! This is one of my family's favorite dinners. Not only is it inexpensive, but it is quick, easy and healthy. In about an hour, you will have a fantastic, fresh meal. Truthfully, these beans are tasty enough to eat alone. But with a few added ingredients, they are even better! Enjoy.:)
Total Time: About 1 hour
Yield: About 10 servings
