These sound delicious and I am guessing they are really cheap to make. My children like all the ingredients you have listed here. I am fairly broke at the moment and this sounds like a meal I could make for my children's lunch with things that I already have in the cupboards at home. If I make it, I wqill let you know how it goes .

Sounds good. I think you could probably make this with more or less any kind of bean although I'm very fond of butter beans. I'm always looking for bean dishes these days, so I can use the magic bean juice!!
