Great Northern Beans

Is anyone familiar with this brand of beans? I have a recipe that
calls for 2 cans, rinsed and drained, and wonder if I can substitute
cans of regular pork and beans or if they are like kidney beans in a
liquid. Thanks for any help.....Sharon

What's the recipe?

Sheldon

Great Northerns are a white bean. :-)
Totall different in taste and texture.

They are my favorites!

And no, I'd not try to substitute.....

Cheers!

Great Northern is a type of bean (like red, black, pinto, kidney except
white), not a brand name like Bush's or B&M so, no, pork and beans won't
work. I think there is an Italian type, cann... (sp?), that is acceptable.

Why not... there's absolutely no reason one can't sustitute pea beans
or navy beans for great northerns. But regardless, especially since
the OP is talking canned beans, and is also mentioning canned pork n'
beans, it's really not possible to offer anything other than wild
speculation until/unless the recipe is posted. You're just blowing
bean farts.

They are just like navy beans, only more so.

You can probably substitute any canned white beans.

It's a recipe for slow cooker bean soup:-

1 1/2 c diced ham
1 cup diced onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup Hunt's tomato sauce
2 cups hot water
20 ounces great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp splenda or sugar twin
1 tps dried parsley.

Combine all ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours, mixing well
before serving.

DH asked for some bean soup and this one fits with my schedule. I
just didn't know what kind of beans it called for, not being familiar
with the Great Northern brand. I'll pick up some this week with the
groceries. It's from "A Potful of Recipes" by JoAnn Lund Many good
healthy recipes in this one. We're diabetic and also watch our fat intake.

Thanks Pam. I have never heard of them before. ...Sharon

It's not a brand, but a type of bean, like kidney or pinto or
garbanzo. You should be able to find them among the other canned beans.

Also, you can use just about any white bean you like as a substitute.
