For a simple recipe that uses mostly kitchen staples you probably have on hand, try out this recipe from Six Sisters’ Stuff! Keep in mind to use low-sodium canned goods, if possible, for a healthy sodium intake. Of course, if you don’t have all 5 varieties of beans on hand that’s fine, you can use what you have to equal 5 cans of beans.
