For this recipe, we use canned no-salt-added navy beans. Navy beans are small oval beans that are white in color, with a smooth texture and delicate mild flavor. Canned navy beans are already cooked, making this a quick and convenient recipe for a weeknight dinner. You can also use dried navy beans, but you will need to soak them before cooking. Can I Substitute Ingredients? We use lean ground beef for this recipe, but ground turkey or ground sausage would work nicely in this dish. Just watch the sodium. Molasses is a dark sweet syrup made from sugarcane with a rich robust flavor. If you can't find molasses, you can use maple syrup or honey instead.
