Valdeans Beans

Kate Schat
Valdeans Beans are a classic in our family. You’ll need 6 cans worth of beans. This could be lima beans, garbanzo beans, black beans, adzuki beans, white beans, baked beans. You name it, you can use it! So use up what you’ve got in your pantry for dried beans and cans of beans. It’ll be perfect. You can even make Valdeans Beans in the Instant Pot!
