Notes

  • Grandma Ginny made this recipe with Kraft Italian dressing. We used Brianna brand Italian dressing. Feel free to use your favorite brand.
  • This recipe would be delicious topped with shredded parmesan cheese.
  • Every Italian dressing is different, so be sure to taste test the beans and salt and paper to taste if needed.
