I was going to add this to the DB and found it had already been added, so thanks! Just want to note that the original recipe in the book calls for two 19-ounce cans of beans (Progresso sells that size), which would give a yield slightly less than three of the smaller cans, which is the size I'd use because that is more commonly found for me.
