I don’t know about you, but I love making one-pot meals! It makes cleanup so much easier. I tend to work out in the late afternoon/evening, so dishes like this work really well for us. I can come back home after a run, throw a pot of soup on the stove and let it simmer while I go grab a shower. Then, dinner is served!
I only had dried beans in my pantry, so I cooked those up ahead of time to use in this recipe. Canned beans really do help bring this meal together in a jiffy. I recommend the Eden Foods brand of canned beans, which are soaked overnight and come in BPA free cans.
