Gerry found this recipe on a hospital chat today and decided to make it for dinner to (1) please his bean-loving wife and (2) make something new for dinner on this chilly spring night. I, the bean-lover, adored the dish. Colin, not so much, but that's okay. He had bread and enough beans to fill him up! This might not be a gourmet meal but it hit the spot tonight.
