Introduction
I've been adapting recipes to make them lower sodium and to use dry beans instead of canned. This one is adapted from "Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook". I'm still trying to figure out how to spice it up, though...Removed salt and replaced other high-sodium items with regular items (e.g. tomatoes instead of tomato sauce).
I'm unsure if SP's food listing for red kidney beans is for canned or dry, so nutritional info may be a bit off.
