The refrigerator light goes on...

This basic six bean mixture is great for so many recipes. Simply purchase a pound of each bean next time you're at the store and mix them together. This is one of the best basic pantry meal ingredients you can keep on hand.

This recipe also works great using a Crock-Pot. Put all the ingredients in the pot, set on "High" and cook for about 6 hours. Stir occasionally if you can.
