Notes
Storing leftovers: this stew will stay good in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days.
To reheat: add the bean stew to a pan over the stove on low-medium heat, stirring frequently until the beans are warmed through. If needed, add a splash of water or broth while the stew heats. You can also add to a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave for a minute or two, stirring every 30 seconds, until warmed through.
