Homemade 3 Beans

Homemade 3 Beans

Canned baked beans are delicious, but I am a little biased and think that homemade beans taste a lot better! Not to mention they are lower in salt and sugar. These homemade 3 beans can be cooked in bulk by doubling the recipe to have on hand for a speedy midweek meal. These beans are great on toast, in a jacket potato, nacho bowl, served with rice or cous cous and veggies or paired with salad and bread. 

​

You can mix and match the beans you use depending on what you like or have available in your pantry.
