Preparation & Use

Add boiling water gradually while stirring until the beans reach your preferred consistency; start with the ratio recommended on the pouch and adjust for thicker or thinner results. Stir thoroughly and hold warm for service. Unused dry product should be kept sealed in a cool, dry area below 80°F. Once prepared, refrigerate any leftovers and use within a standard holding period for cooked beans.
