Directions:
To make jar: Add all ingredients to a quart-sized jar in order listed. If putting in reverse order you can add heaping servings. Put the powder ingredients in a separate zip-lock baggie and stick into the top of the jar. (Wide-mouth jars are best for this recipe). Add an oxygen absorber or seal with a foodsaver jar lid attachment.
To prepare: Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Remove baggie from jar and pour remaining ingredients into pot. Let simmer for 10 minutes or until beans are softened. Drain off any remaining water and return items to the pot. Add the contents of the baggie to the mixture and stir. Add 1/2 cup of hot water and stir until all the powder is mixed in. Top with shredded cheese, tortilla strips, sour cream, or anything else to your liking!

Hi there! I’m Jodi. I teach busy moms how to save time and money in the kitchen while making healthy and delicious meals using freeze-dried foods.
Carol L says
These recipes are convenient to me because they use ingredients that I can buy, thus making sure of the actual ingredients: that there are no unwanted/toxic/unhealthy/bad for me/ ingredients.
SO, the Kraft macaroni and cheese box makes this not good for me.
I can use the FD foods, spices, but not commercial, store bought ingredients that contain unwanted ingredients.
Hoping the other recipes in this “series” contain no store bought commercial ingredients.
Thank you
