Great Northern beans are small white beans. I'm not too fond of them, though. I usually use whatever beans I have for a recipe. Joe

I made this a few days after I made that last post, and its great!! I used corn instead of peas because I didn't have any. I thought that it would be really gross, and that I'd have to use it in chili or somthing, but the sweet vegetable (peas or corn) really add somthing to it!! I used a teeny bit of dry mustard, some marjoram, and some italian seasoning for the spices. I reccomend this recipe!

I was looking for a recipe to use up some canned peas in my fridge. This was perfect, because I've had a can of great Northern beans in my cabinet for ages--I don't even know why I have them. Anyway, I made the recipe using thyme, oregano, basil, and pepper, and it was great! I don't know if those spices are supposed to go together but it worked for me.
