What Type of Beans Can Be Used?

For this recipe, we use canned no-salt-added navy beans. Navy beans are small oval beans that are white in color, with a smooth texture and delicate mild flavor. Canned navy beans are already cooked, making this a quick and convenient recipe for a weeknight dinner. You can also use dried navy beans, but you will need to soak them beforecooking.

Can I Substitute Ingredients?

We use lean ground beef for this recipe, but ground turkey or ground sausage would work nicely in this dish. Just watch the sodium.

Molasses is a dark sweet syrup made from sugarcane with a rich robust flavor. If you can’t find molasses, you can use maple syrup or honey instead.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
