Author Notes
This is a recipe i recently developed after having to reduce carbs, sugar and salt in my own diet. You can substitute any cooked or canned beans for red bean to expand your options. You may also use roasted cauliflower instead of red beans. I have to thank my mom for being my taste tester and having input on these recipes, she was my first cooking teacher! —@darrel3000
