Notes

NOTE: Watch the video in the recipe card for visual guidance.

This makes a big batch of beans. It can easily serve 8 to 12 people. The recipe can easily be halved for serving fewer guests.

Leftovers are delicious. Keep them in an air-tight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Reheat in a covered dish in the oven at 325°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
