"I found this recipe in the Light & Tasty magazine, and I make it at least once a week. A whole pot will due all week. It tastes even better when reheated. I changed it a little bit. It was a originally a slow cooker recipe, but since I'd rather cook it on stove top, it works the same. And takes a lot less time. Serve with cornbread or Recipe #51400."

directions

In a large pot, combine all the ingredients.
Bring to boil on medium heat for 15-30 minutes.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30 more minutes or until flavors are blended.
Add seasonings to taste (2 teaspoons of salt ought to be enough).
Add other seasonings--spice it up a bit.
This recipe is very flexible, this is just the original ingredients, except I added the cayenne pepper and the salt.
Switch the beans around.
I will use lima beans, or great northern beans.
Any type of bean can be substituted.
Heck, use 4 different types of beans.
It makes for a great healthy meal.
You can use 1 can pinto beans, 1 can kidney beans, 1 can great northerns, and 1 can lima beans.
It's a very flexible recipe you can add your own stuff to.

I've made this several times now--sorry it's taken me so long to review it! I absolutely love this--very flexible, and easy to suit to your own tastes. Great for the cooler fall and winter months coming up! I like to use 4 different types of beans, and I've also tried adding some barley to the mix--always turns out wonderfully! Thanks for posting! :)

I am from Kentucky. I'm 14 years old, and I love to cook. I live way out in the country so it's hard to find fresh herbs, and it's hard to make a quick trip to the grocery store to buy a missing ingrediant. We have to drive 30 minutes to get a gallon of milk! I enjoy healthy cooking. If you find a recipe of mine on here it's most definitly healthy. And I always tweak my recipes to become even more healthy for you. Like cake recipes I always replace the oil with natural applesauce which I think gives everything a better flavor. I'm not an expert on foods, however I would love to goto culinary school. I enjoy watching people cook on TV. I DO watch Emeril, and everything on food network. I love to watch the Cooking Episodes on the Health Channel. It really does give you some ideas for healthy meals. And in order to cook a recipe out of a Muscle and Fitness Magazine you got to be ready to tweak the ingrediants and get creative, because not all of them will turn out tasting the best. I also subscribe to Light n Tasty. I look forward to my new issue ever 2 months. I love that magazine. It's truely one of my favorites. It's alot better then Cooking Light if you ask me. School, my most favorite of all subjects is History. I LOVE IT! I always like to watch the educational channels as much as any ol' channel. I have a big interest in past wars, and politics. I'm not saying that I want to be president, I'm just saying I am very controversial whenever it comes to politics. And the 2000 election was so obvious, I knew George Bush would get it. Believe it or not, my mom asked ME who she should vote for. And I had already considered the pros and cons of George and Al, so I was 100% George Bush. Well, I'm going to go. Hopefully you'll be seeing more recipes on the Zaar from me. Gloria
