“This used to be a boxed product with par-boiled, dried beans, that came…like a…macaroni-and-cheese box with a recipe on the back…that was truly delicious. I don’t know when that product ceased to be produced, but my grandmother had the recipe she’d copied from the back of a box, and here it is (from one 9-1/2 oz box):"

Recipe Notes
Note: In Grandma’s notes, she used 1 pound of dried navy beans, soaked overnight with enough water to cover them by a couple of inches. She put the soaked beans, cooked meat, and remaining ingredients in a slow cooker and cooked on LOW until done—she mentions that for 1 pound of dried navy beans, she did double the other ingredients.
