To prepare, simply open the can and drain any excess liquid. The contents can be heated on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.

For a richer flavor, you can sauté a little extra garlic or butter before adding the beans. Some people like to top the heated beans with toasted breadcrumbs or slivered almonds for added texture.
