Notes

You can easily mix in cooked rice or pasta if you would like. I

f adding in, add in ½ cup more broth to this bean mixture.

Also, you can easily add in shredded cooked chicken, cooked ground beef or sausage to add more protein to make these a one pot meal.

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
