I added TWO 15 oz cans of beans which = 3 cups of beans and blended. I made mini Italian sausage meatballs and browned them with the garlic. Only added half the tomatoes... I don't even see tomatoes in the pic on recipe??? But it turned out DELICIOUS!!! Will make over and over and over again. - 12/12/19
