This recipe came from my best friends mother-in-law, and she made it for me when I went out to visit her. The beans thicken it while it bakes, and the flavors blend together wonderfully. It's very hearty, yet low in fat and calories. Served with warm fresh french ( or Italian ) bread, it's delicious!!! Ingredients:
