Since this canned classic has long since ceased to exist, here is the recipe for you to cook it yourself.

Soak the beans overnight and cook until tender, depending on the type, in about 60 minutes. Chop the bell pepper, onion, and sausage into small pieces and sauté. Then simmer for 15 minutes with the diced carrots, green beans, and the remaining spices. Finally, add the kidney beans, stir, and let stand briefly. If you’re in a hurry, you can use double the amount of canned beans instead of dry beans. Alternatively, you can substitute the kidney beans with some white beans.
