Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the Great Northern beans, chili beans, kidney beans, ketchup, brown sugar, and powdered ginger into a large microwave-safe casserole dish or a 2-quart mixing bowl.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until evenly combined and the sauce coats the beans.
  3. Cover the dish loosely with waxed paper or a microwave-safe lid to prevent splattering while allowing steam to escape.
  4. Microwave on HIGH for 8 to 11 minutes, stopping to stir the beans twice during the cooking process to ensure even heating.
  5. If a thicker consistency is desired, continue microwaving in 2-minute increments at 80% power, stirring frequently, until the desired texture is reached.
  6. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the temperature to stabilize.
