Notes
- Don't have an oven-safe pot? Transfer the bean mixture to a 9x13 pan or 3 quart casserole dish. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake as directed.
- Want to use canned beans? You can use four 15-ounce cans of navy beans instead. Drain and rinse well. Skip steps 1 and 2 and add your rinsed beans in step 5.
