- 1 Tbs Thrive Beef Bouillon
- 1/2 Cup Thrive Espagnole Sauce
Equipment
- mason jars

Directions
- Fill the jar beginning with the powders and finishing with the beans. Press and pack the contents down as you go, since there is a lot to fit.
- For a cheaper version, use only half the sausage and ground beef along with the full 2 cups of beans.
Notes
To cook: bring 8 cups water to a boil in a pot. Add the jar contents (take out the oxygen pack). Boil 2 minutes, then simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened and beans are soft. Optional: add 1 Tbs worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbs lime juice and 1 Tbs hot sauce.
Safety: freeze-dried beef, sausage and butter powder can go rancid.
